Objectives:

  1. The client will understand where the project is now.
  2. The client will feel confident in and reassured about our progress.

When you have all the ideas that are important to achieve your first objective, think of the knowledge the reader must have to be successful with the next objective, "feel confident in and reassured about our progress."

Write that close to the central idea. An example appears in the right half of this page.
