PROJECT MANAGEMENT REPORT
1. Email for Client-Facing Narrative of Project
To: <<clientmail>>@____mail.com
Subject: Narrating the project progress for making the client understand of the project criteria
Sir,
I am writing this email for describing the progress of the project that has been running and now
its iteration 9 progress. The project had been scheduled for aligning the management of the
activities and employing the operation alignment and deployment for the integration of the work
alignment and ensuring the completion of the activities. The project was scheduled for starting
on 7th June 2016 with the alignment of the operations for the project. The iterative model
involves the combined alignment and development of the activities for integrating the
management of the facilities for supporting the management of the activities for deploying work.
The aligned project plan was made for ensuring the alignment of the facilities and completing the
work assigned to the management of the activities and managing the continued listing of the
innovative work complication. The easing of operations would embed the management of the
operations for project. The work in project would be based for combining the agile methodology
of iterative work cycle with the innovative project management operations.
PFA for the story list, original timeline, original budget, and timesheet of the project for
understanding.
Regards,
_________
