Need to make a report but don't know where to start? Just a few steps will help you not to postpone the case and submit the report on time.
Instructions
Step 1
There are many types of reports. Start by defining the uniqueness of the report. It is possible that there is a standard form for your report. Probably, some of your colleagues and acquaintances have already faced the need to prepare such reports and will be able to help you in drawing up the report. The standard form of the report will facilitate the work and will help you not to miss some of the nuances.
Step 2
List the questions that the report should answer. Imagine a potential reader of your report. Imagine in what form it would be convenient for you to view the report in its place. Answer the question: “What interests the reader? What does he not know and would like to find out?"
Step 3
Lay out the structure of your report. Pay special attention to the logic of the presentation. The reader should not have a question "What is this section for?" The structure of the report is similar to the walls of a built house: when the layout is chosen correctly, its filling is carried out in a natural way, without painful hesitation.
Step 4
Fill in the structure of the report with the necessary information. Provide more facts and specific data. After reading the report, there should be no feeling of a lot of "water" in the text. Remember that pictures, diagrams and graphs make the report more interesting and clear. Dilute dry text with them. When possible, structure and combine information using tables.
