進捗状況: how far the work has progressed
進捗 (しんちょく) refers to work or a plan moving forward. 進捗状況 describes the stage that work has reached.
- 進捗を確認する: check what has been completed and what remains.
- 進捗を報告する: tell someone how far the work has progressed.
例：読書会の準備の進捗を確認し、まだ決まっていない担当を話し合った。
We checked the progress of preparations for the reading group and discussed the roles that were still unassigned.
How it differs from 進歩
進歩 (しんぽ) focuses on improvement or development, such as a gain in skill. 資料作りの進捗 concerns how far document preparation has progressed; 説明の仕方が進歩した concerns an improvement in someone’s ability to explain.
