Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I send stakeholder updates?+
Weekly for your direct stakeholders and team. Monthly for executive leadership. Quarterly for board-level communication. Use the same format each time so readers know where to find what they care about.
What makes a good decision log?+
A good decision log captures: the decision, date, decision-maker, context (what prompted the decision), alternatives considered, and rationale. Keep entries short (3-5 sentences). The value is in preventing relitigated decisions, not in exhaustive documentation.
How do I communicate bad news to stakeholders?+
Lead with the impact, not the excuse. State what happened, what it means for the timeline or goals, what you are doing about it, and what you need from them. Be specific about the ask. Stakeholders can handle bad news; they cannot handle surprises.
