I have worked on Claims through the years, and I just want to ask everyones opinion, regarding report writing; some companies I have worked for have written massive report documentation, supported with background data of meetings, memos, emails..etc. On the other side of the coin I have been involved in claims where, the report has been as simple as a straight time line, supported and balanced against the project program, and emails. I have studied and read books on methodolgy and referred to SCL and AACIE, to support case arguement, all relate to contract, collation and method.
What is the best method of report writing in this planning arena.
