Total two discussion topics. One page for each topic. One citation for each topic. Topic 1: Balancing details in performance reporting In performance reporting, we often need to find a balance between too much information and too little detail. Some of us may love looking at the numbers and understanding them, while others just want to get to the bottom line. This is often complicated by the fact that we have both types of persons reading performance reports on many of our projects. (1) How should we be thinking about and drafting our performance reports to balance the amount of detail (both in terms of calculations and in terms of project technical specifics) given to try to meet the differing needs and desires? (2) How does earned value add value in performance reporting? (3) Also, are there other parts of a project plan (think about the knowledge areas) that might help inform our report writing strategy? Topic 2: Summary paragraph of the attachment For this topic, please go through the attachment I uploaded. Come out one paragraph of what my classmate wrote. No need to be one page, just one paragraph will be enough. Please summary what they thought about the topic. In your opinion, why are presentation skills important to a consultant / project manager and why? Do you personally like presenting and/or being the center of attention? Why or why not? How do you plan to prepare for your team presentation? Everyone has a story about when they messed up a presentation (even me!). Please share your story and what you learned from it.Show more
