The main purpose of this post is to share some personal observations, ideas, tips and tricks for reporting that works well for me. Through my years I realised that I enjoyed doing reports.
Recommended by LinkedIn
Since I am closer to reaching four (4) decades of experience, I was exposed to a very wide varieties of reports from OoM, PFS, FS, technical, surveys, construction, mechanical assessments, weekly, monthly, flash, visits, claims, audits and due diligence. They came from various sources such as engineering firms, consulting firms, suppliers, contractors, consultants and or research facilities. I also have had the opportunities to collaborate and lead many of them as well.I have witnessed the entire spectrum of reports from poorly done to high quality and excellent. Reports are important since they can decide a project future, highlight recommendations, shown options, highlights results, attract investors looking to invest in your project and or keep stakeholders informed on progress.
After all of these years I observed that not everybody is skilled or have the talent for properly write and or lead a report. The following are some of the few items that are important to consider;
Hoping this will help some of you in the future.

A very useful summmary of things to consider when writing a technical report to which I would add the importance of including a comprehensive ‘Executive Summary’.

Thank you for sharing, Mario. Good lesson learned and experience. If I may comment, I will humbly add that project reporting is specially a "Must" in the context of big projects since it supports decision-making at any stage of the project. Keeping reports simple and effective helps to avoid "bureaucraty" and paperwork. HNY
