Question

Here are two example paragraphs from recent status reports:

(A) team spark has completed the beam forming code for the audio recording device. We began making the PCB design using the hardware we selected for the prototype. We are struggling to create the code that converts data into .wav files. We asked Mr. Dyno (out sponsor) to send us help with this portion. Assuming he can provide us with sufficient help, we will be done with this code by October 26th. If he cannot help us, we will be done with this code by November 2nd

(B) we started integration of our hardware components, the thermocouple and power supply. We explored the data types that each hardware component would use to best input the data into our program. Each member created a portion of the PDR and practiced the parts to speak. We did not receive any feedback that would alter our plans, so we are continuing progress as stated in the Gantt chart. Due to the snow delay, we had slowed progress this week

which of these opening paragraphs is more effective as a report on the status of the team? Explain answer briefly.

Explanation / Answer

Answer: The opening paragraph B is more effective as a status report. The report is more professional and explains each stage in a very concise and precise manner. Each sentence is well-organised, starting from the integration of hardware components to stating the valid reason for slow progress in the current week. This seems like a rather sincere & productive report. The report also says about the role played by each team member in the project and efforts they are taking for the presentation.
