effective communication with stakeholders

 As a project manager, you understand the importance of effective communication with stakeholders. You want to present project progress reports to the stakeholders in the next project meeting. What should be your approach?

A)Make the report concise, restricted to specific technical details of the project

B)Prepare a verbose report but filter the information to remove details

C)Focus on specific stakeholders with whom there is good personal relation

D)Research and understand the experience level and expectations of stakeholders

D?

 Yes you are right. Why not A?

Some stakeholders are really technical and would want a detailed report, while others would just want the jist (summary), so you really need to understand the experience level and expectations of what the stakeholder wants.


A - detailed report and B - summary report are 2 ends of the spectrum of what I discussed above.
