PROJECT MANAGEMENT (GROUP REPORTS)

REPORT STRUCTURE AND FORMATTING

Report Structure

Please include important personal information in your report (Student names, Student ID, Class)

Executive Summary (no more than 100 words)

This is the most important part of your report. Accordingly, the executive summary should not be
saying what your report will be about (list of topics), but rather summarize your key
recommendations and findings, and the logic behind your ideas.

Report sections corresponding to each question listed above.

Start each report section with a short bullet-list summary of the key recommendations presented
in the section (2-4 bullets, each 4-10 words long), followed by some pages of more detailed
explanations and supporting arguments.

References: If you cite any sources in the text of the report, provide full references in this section.
Please use the APA-6 citation style (google how to cite sources using APA-6 if you are not sure).

Appendixes: If needed, add additional information in appendices without the word limit.
