As a consulting PM for an accounting/ERP system conversion, the artist/architect/engineer in me loves to diagram and hand print, then plaster walls of the "war room" with these neat sheets from a 34" x 27" easel pad that list and diagram the following:
-System Diagrams
-To Do Lists
-Highlights of Project Plan Changes
-Issues
-Objectives
-Important Notices and Developments
These project artifacts help me keep my users and stakeholders up to date and well informed with some 80s archival impact. I like a nice black wide tip marker and 32 point or so (approximate) font, hand printed, of course, with bright colors for emphasis of exceptional conditions or issues. I hang these sheets (like wallpaper) in a "war room", which in our project's case is a room of half a dozen workstations used for training and testing of the new system. My office also gets it's share of similar sheets. My client, project stakeholders and future system users can't help but notice and learn "the big picture".
If you are a project manager seeking the big picture for Project Management Professional (PMP) certification, get my PMP Exam Simulator for MS Windows rich client software to diagnose your readiness and progress as you study and practice over 1000 typical PMP Exam questions. But if you prefer some artistic hand-penned war room wallpaper study guides for the PMP exam or other certs, contact me and I will be glad to oblige for a reasonable fee.
