Gentlemen,

I have to write a one-page memorandum reporting on planning and scheduling analysis to my manager, explaining him the issues and proposing a solution regarding a problem. Is there any format for this? What does a memorandum like this contains? Does anyone of you know a webiste where I can download a format or samples for this type of memorandum? If you wish to give me hand on this, please e-mail me to gburgisser@engineer.com (in any format, Word, PDF, etc.)

Thanks in advance.

Günther.

    Hello Gunther,

    For one page memorandum, you can focus on the critical path activities.

    I. EVENTS THAT IMPACT ON THE CRITICAL ACTIVITIES.

    II. HIGHLIGHTS OF IMPACTED SCHEDULE ( you may sun the baseline program, then evaluate the new finish date).

    III. ACTION PLAN (This could be action plan to mitigate delays or it could be an action plans for futute claims).

    Simple.

    Cheers,

    Charlie

    Thank you Mr. Charleston-Joseph Orbe for your answer, which I will take into consideration.

    Now I would like to know the points of views of the other experts.

    Thank you.

    Günther,

    I don’t know if this is going to be any use to you, but it sounds as if what you have to do, in PRINCE2 terms is raise an issue against the project. It’s usually a constructive action, highlighting the problem and suggesting a course of action.

    If you use the link below, it will take you to the PRINCE2 Website where you will find a number of templates for project documentation.

    PRINCE2 templates

    Suggest you look at the Project Issue template which might be useful.

    Regards
