Style Question: Use of “we” vs. “I” vs. passive voice in a dissertation
When I am writing a report I usually use we.
What if the project is done by only one person? Should I use I? It sounds a little bit arrogant.

This is why some people resort to the passive voice. Instead of writing, "I did such and such..." they write, "Such and such was done..."
I think part of the decision of whether to use "I" depends on the audience who will be reading your report. I would follow the convention you have seen in other reports in your business.
