What do you think has helped you communicate your projects on a higher, more strategic level? I'm having the issue of being too detailed in my cases, and confusing people! But I struggle to zoom out because I'm worried that a lack of details might cause even more confusion?!

Is this for portfolio case studies? I can’t say I’ve solved out or anything, but it seems sometimes extreme detail is wanted… so almost worth having different projects with different levels of detail to share. Super high level: why? Who? What was the problem being solved? How?

Use the imagineering constraint! If you can’t accurately describe your story, project, or experience in two lines it’s probably not been thought through enough. 

Additionally keep laddering up to the business objective and back down to the tactical execution. Cont-

Thanks for sharing! I do also have 2 versions: a detailed case, and a more high level case for verbally presenting! I think the “how” part is where I get stuck on the most for the high level version lol. I find it hard to talk about methods without going to deep 🫠

i think anchoring on the high level questions that guided the project are super useful — what was the business problem? what were the jobs to be done? etc. figuring out what details are relevant to answer the questions can be a useful heuristic to give the right level of context

I love studies that remind me of what result or needle is being moved by the change in focus. It never hurts to be redundant, as long as the redundancy doesn’t interrupt the flow.
