Get more on a single page


Previous	Next

There must be something magical about a one-page report because that’s what most managers want.

There-in lies the challenge… how can all of that fit into a single page?

Here are a few tips on meeting this challenge:

Include multiple milestones and task bars per line
Color-code repetitive tasks, defined in a legend
Embed detailed information in the milestones or cells

Before printing, hide unnecessary columns to conserve space
Abbreviate text, especially using wellknown acronyms
Only display summary activities with key dates
Use presentation software that lets you “drill-down” to details. That way,your top level schedules can be clean and concise.

SAMPLE STATUS REPORT

Many projects are summarized on a single page.
Only selected milestones display on summary rows.
Meanings of symbols are defined in the legend.
Major milestones are marked by symbols with abbreviated text (e.g. P1 = Phase 1).
Project details can be revealed by “drilling down” to show hidden data.
