Talk:Learning patterns/Short reports go a long way

It can be hard to write a good report on complex projects in which multiple people are responsible for individual activities. Our tips:

• Ask individual participants beforehand to collect the relevant information during an activity, or shortly after it ends.
• Give them a brief idea of what kind of information and how much detail.
• Contact them shortly after their activity is finished to encourage them to give you the information.
