What is your technique of getting weekly project status from your team?

We have a daily stand up

I use the Kanban board - use a cloud based free tool Trello. If a need a more detailed update, I use my regular check-in meetings.

I do almost all updates face to face. I like being able to see non-verbal cues and talk a little off topic, like how is the team going, how are things outside of work.
For the "business end" I try and keep things simple, after early project establishment & agreement of deliverables then project status updates focus on three basic questions (1) progress of last weeks targets (2) "blockers" and (3) this weeks targets.

trac (https://trac.edgewall.org/) is a opensource project management tool. Using trac, team members status can be tracked and customized reports can be generated for projects. We have created customized weekly and monthly status report for few projects and it worked very well.
