Progress Report Memo

TO: Dr. Wally

FROM: Telly

SUBJECT: Progress on Database Analysis Report

DATE: February 20, 2011

This memo describes the progress I have made to date on my independent-study project to write a report on database performance on business environments. In this memo, I review the nature of the project and describe work I have completed, work I am currently engaged in, and work I plan to complete by the end of the project. This project will result in a research paper which purpose is to provide readers with practical information about considering various technologies to manage database performance more effectively.

Project Description

The report is aimed at individuals who directly or indirectly depend on any type of database information to make business decisions. The information in this report is needed because readers who have developed small databases with basic applications such as Microsoft Access may be unfamiliar with the approaches available for databases with large volumes of data.

Work Completed

As of this time, I have completed most of the research work and am putting the sections of the final report together.

Present Work

I am currently working on the lessons learned section. I expect the current work to be completed by the end of this week, Feb 25th.

Future Work

Next, I will draft all the sections and will consolidate them for the final draft. Finally, I will fully revise the entire draft, integrating further material where deficiencies have become evident during work on other sections. The final report will be ready for your review on March 4th.

Conclusion

Thus far, the project is proceeding well. I have not run into any major problems, nor do I anticipate any in the remaining work. A current outline is attached.
