“He is the best man who, when making his plans, fears
and reflects on everything that can happen to him, but
in the moment of action is
bold.”

Companies like Raytheon Optical
Systems rely on single-page project road maps
for scheduling and communicating their projects.
Below is an example of such a
road map tracking a project from start-up to
completion.
With such a high-level project
snap-shot, they keep sight of major phases,
milestones, and the project as a whole. |
|
To the uninitiated, it looks
like a bowl of spaghetti, while
Raytheon’s upper-management
clearly sees critical tasks and project flow.
What makes this road map example
below, an effective reporting format?
|
|
-
High-level events on a single
page
-
Simple, clear symbology for
milestones, activities and critical tasks
-
Directional arrow showing the
project’s path
