Dear All,
All of us enjoy music. But few of us (or none of us) are musicians !
So what will happen , if some one give us a ’note’ when we ask for the song? Does ♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫ convey anything to you? I think your answer will be ’NO’.
So , what about project control guys who submit lots of project specific tech/cost info to senior management who dont have a clue on those (or least interested in knowing them!).
Please discuss the last innovative reporting technique used by you , or even a conventional reporting methodology , which you felt extremely effective.
Let me start with the KPI visualisation article which I wrote in my blog. Please go through the link given below:

Most of the Senior Managers who are reading the reports send more than 50% of their time in FINANCE. But what they have on their mind is QUALITY.
If you are a decision maker reading a report, then that report is MUSIC to his ears. If the numbers are singing the right song; Cost, Scope and Time, then you will be happy.
The KPIs for any process would be to maximize the customer satisfaction and minimize the cost.
Good luck.
