An established process with periodic written evaluations for every accepted project is
an efficient method to brief upper management. An appropriate time frame should be
established for these periodic reports, usually quarterly or monthly will suffice. A stan-
dardized template should be developed to report on each project. This will make it
much easier for upper management to evaluate the projects and for comparison pur-
poses. Graphs and charts often tell the best story on each project. Figure 10.1 shows a
template that may be used for these periodic reports.
