Explanation
A milestone report for a board of directors should be a high-level executive summary - concise, focused, and visually digestible. Boards need status, key achievements, risks, and decisions, not granular operational details. A 45-page document is far too lengthy for that audience and purpose, overwhelming executives with information they neither need nor have time to review. The core issue is that the coordinator produced an operational-level document rather than an executive-level summary, violating the principle of tailoring communication to the audience and purpose defined in the communication plan.
