While one-page reports are great
for a summary of the project’s status, what if
your audience also needs to see more detail?
That is, how can you display a
summary AND the details?
Method 1
Present a
single-page report which can expand to show the
details of specific activities.
On the opposite page, a
single-page report of the project summary and
major phases can be expanded by drilling-down to
expose detailed activity levels. |
|
Method 2
Present primary schedule with links to other,
more detailed project data.
Example 1 below is a summary schedule with task
bars for major project phases. Selected
milestones are linked to other files, including
a more detailed schedule, a costs spreadsheet,
product specs document, and a project design
file.
Method 3
Present a web
page with a summary view and interactive links to
drill-down to the details. |
|
Example 2 below is an example of
a web page containing a graphic of the schedule
“rollup” summary. Upon clicking a summary task,
the sub-tasks are revealed.
Whatever your method, an
all-in-one summary plus detailed report satisfies
the audience who requires just a project
“snapshot” and those who need the details. |
