Case: For your class project (Internet Company) design a one-page report that includes the key information that your stakeholders will need on a weekly basis. The report should be informative and quick/easy to read. If you are not sure of the information to include, put yourself in your customer's and sponsor's shoes. If you were the customer or sponsor of your class project, or if you hired a contractor to build a home for you and you lived too far away to physically visit the site regularly, what information would you need in order to know what is going on with the project and that concerns are being properly addressed? If you need more ideas, Brenda Breslin's presentation in week 3 may help, along with our other class resources (textbook, articles, guest speakers).
Be creative! Have some fun with this. I want you to make an original format that works for your class project.
You will submit two reports.
One will be a blank version, or template, of your one-page report with brief instructions for each area or field. Templates with instructions are needed so that everyone understands the report and finish it consistently. This avoids the surprise when people interpret a report or finish a report differently than you intended.
The second is a finished report providing a current status of your class project. I realize the data will be made up, and that is fine, but it is helpful to populate a template with information to make sure it works as you intended.
Like the WBS, you can make and submit this report in Word, Excel, Powerpoint, or neatly hand drawn. If youmake it in another software program, please attach the native file as well as a pdf version to ensure that I can read it.
If you are working with someone on the class project, you will work together on this assignment and receive the same grade.
If you would like my Stoplight templates, let me know when you submit your homework. I will attach the two templates when I grade your assignment. I am not sending the files now so that you come up with your own one-page report. If you have a preferred way to convey status information thoroughly and succinctly on one page other than color-coded assessments, such as Red-Yellow-Green, it is fine to use that approach.
What is important here is clarity, brevity, and content.
