Reporting for Project Managers; A Picture Says a Thousand Words
Thursday, February 16th, 2012
5:30 PM - 8:00 PM
Abstract: Reporting for Project Managers; A Picture Says a Thousand Words
For a project to be successful, communication is critical. A common method of communication throughout a project is a dashboard. Creating a meaningful dashboard can be a challenge. What should be included and who is the audience? It needs to be meaningful and space is limited. A quick internet search yields a variety of software ready to help create a dashboard for any project, but is that really necessary?
The presentation will provide an interactive approach to the creation of dashboards. We will discuss the selection of project metrics, graphical representations, and effective communication.
