Creating a Stakeholder Report

Although eight key components of a stakeholder report are listed below, all eight may not
be appropriate for every stakeholder report. Similarly, there may be additional
information that should be included based on exactly what message you are trying to
convey with the report. While these eight components will result in successful
stakeholder reports most of the time, remember that sometimes creativity is needed to
make your message clear and intuitive.

Consider including the following key components when preparing a stakeholder report:
·

Criteria to which the results relate

A results graph

A table for single-instance measurements (e.g., maximum throughput achieved)

A brief verbal summary of the chart or graph in terms of criteria

Workload model (graphic)

Test environment (annotated graphic)

Summary of observations, concerns, and recommendations
