Reflective outline – The interesting thing about the respective topic of the book is that it is
essential for the writer to always think according to the perspective of the reader because through
that they able to develop proper reading element. For example if a writer think their audience as
the highly educated and knowledgeable then they can use specific term of the topic but if the
writer is new in particular sector then they required reading element which include information
in simple language. It is interesting to know that before writing an article or book writer need to
determine their target readers so that they can develop content according to them as well as it
will also help in satisfying the reader. In addition to this, it is useful to understand it because by it
a person able to know that if he or she developing any report then they need to think according to
their senior or professor or any other person who is going to read the report because through that
they able to understand what content their reader want from them.
Critical to item’s importance – From the given book the main three key point of information
which need to be consider are: first is a writer need to determine their reader before writing the
content because when a reader not get information according to them they will not like the
content which decrease the value of book as well as goodwill of writer in the potential market.
The second key point is related to the relationship between the reader as well as writer as it is
necessary to develop as well as maintain proper relation of the reader and writer because through
that the importance of existing content will be fulfilled. It is so if the writer writes content on any
specific topic in very easy language and it also not include the deep knowledge and they publish
it for the professional or experts who already know about the basic information. This shows that
it is essential to understand the target customers or reader before developing the content on
specific topic. The third aspect is related to the mistake, if a writer make a mistake in their initial

draft and ignore it then it will hard for them to erase it at the final stage because after writing the
whole content it will not easy to rectify or rewrite.

Reflective outline – The interesting thing about the respective journal or article is that it provide
information related to nature of knowledge which include different aspects such as structuring as
well as planning of project, ethical issues involve in research work, different types of methods to
gather information and measure it properly and many more. All these play important role in
managing project because by implementing all these aspect in an project better outcomes will
gained in effective manner. Although, it is most essential to conduct overall project in ethical
manner because with the assistance of this several essential outcomes will gained which will
assist in accomplishment of desired goals and objectives in better manner. In simple term it can
be said that, it is important for project manager to follow each and every step related to project
because it will provide assistance in gaining desired outcomes by maintaining quality and in
required duration. Moreover, for conducting an project there is requirement of gathering
information that can be only possible when individual have proper knowledge about project
topic. Along with this, there are mainly two important method of gathering information and data
such as primary and secondary by using these method project manager will be able to gather
information in effective manner as per the requirement of project.

Reflective outline – The interesting thing about the respective journal or article is that it provide
information related to Reason for research and specific methods used to carry out effective
research. It is important for an researcher to select suitable method of conducting research
because it will provide assistance in gathering information within more effective manner as per
the selected research topic. Along with this, for selection of several research method there is one
section which named as research methodology in research. With the assistance of this entire
section investigator will be able to gather information in effectual manner. In addition to this,
after selecting appropriate method of conducting research investigator which determine which
method will be appropriate for gathering information and data. There are mainly two important
method of gathering information and data such as primary and secondary by using these method
project managers will be able to gather information in effective manner as per the requirement of
project. such as structuring as well as planning of project, ethical issues involve in research work,
different types of methods to gather information and measure it properly and many more. All
these play important role in managing project because by implementing all these aspect in an
project better outcomes will gained in effective manner.
Part 2 – Reflective outline
Introduction
In order to conduct research work in effective and appropriate manner a researcher need
to conduct several practices as that will help them in increasing their skills as well as abilities for
accomplishing work in best manner. In respect o this they need to determine specific topic on
which they want to conduct work for the improvement. The respective section of the report will
include reflection of the project manager so that they can determine their experience while

as well as some are my weakness and it is essential for me to enhance my weak skill and polish
