Communication Management Question 11

[admin]

To the project manager, which of the following are the BIGGEST disadvantages of progress reports as compared to watching what is going on in a project, asking questions and assisting team members?

a) Progress reports includes information from all the team
b) Progress reports requires expending time gathering information from the stakeholders
c) Progress reports generally show problems after they have occurred
d) Progress reports supply information about trends

The correct answer is C.

Many project managers spend all their time while the work is being done issuing and using status reports. Great project managers know these are necessary, but are not a replacement for properly managing a project. By interacting with the team, watching what is going on, and listening to the team members, you will find out sooner than later what the “real” status of the project is. Reports are normally a week or two behind the actual work, causing a delay in reacting to problems. Therefore, choice C is the biggest disadvantage.
