ENG315 - WEEK 5 - DISCUSSION 5

"Incorporating Graphics Into the Justification Report"
This week, you are to add a graph to your Justification Report. Discuss how you'll approach this part of your assignment, and state the main reasons why you feel that graphs are a necessary part of a formal report. 

This week I will add a simple graph to display the criteria as it relates to Alternative A, Alternative B, and Alternative C.  Each level or choice or criteria will reflectively show how each will be looked at to show how each has chance to be selected, the need for a market analysis to be done with the choice of manufacturer to mix, package and ready product for distribution.  Designer of exterior package as well as the type of jar will be based upon choice.  Lastly, the chart will reflect that if approved it will be a priority move for either Alternative A, Alternative B or Alternative C.  Further it states that all three (Alternative A, Alternative B or Alternative C) has great feasibility to be successful.
 
The main reasons I feel graphs are important is because they give a great visual and what is visually imaged and displayed helps with the sale or proposition and okaying to proceed forward.  Further it is a short cut through the report and because it is a tool it helps be a focal point in discussion that helps parallel input and gather ideas from participants therefore it is a must for presentations and a final formal report.
 
From Part 1 of this discussion, determine the main benefits of using graphs in the report presentation. Next, explain the matter in which a creatively constructed graph might help you to better manage and present your data. 

The main benefits of using graphs or graphics in a report presentation serves three purposes:  to clarify, simply and to reinforce data by assisting with supportive details and to relay the idea in a snapshot.  The more simple the graph the more easier for your audience to follow along and take to the idea and run with it.  A carefully constructed and creative graph will help manage data and present the theme and idea showing as a focal point.  Each type of graph can serve a specific purpose whether it is to show figures, track progress of a project, do a comparison, show a map, changes in itemizations, illustrate a process or procedure, show the parts of a whole (pie chart), or a realistic view of a specific item or place.
 
Lastly, in utilizing graphics the above-mentioned are a very important part of making the show begin.
 
Thank you.

RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT

I agree like they say a word can say a volume of significant intricacies in relative interaction between people.  So can a chart show solvency, distress or be a good investment.  Sometimes it is the presentation that closes the deal and a good graph or chart wins the day.
I also agree that anticipated changes help keep a team on its feet and move with the flow or get left behind.

Thank you.
