    5 Tips for Project Reporting Stakeholders Will Actual Read

    Are you a project manager finding your project reporting is ineffective or not being read? If so, this episode is for you.

    Key take-aways from this episode include:

    • Be brief, be brilliant, be gone. It's harder to write a concise report than on overly-detailed one

    • Optimize your report creation process as an org/team level, not a personal one

    • Teach your stakeholders how to read the reporting (including potential methods)
