A good technical report is functional by providing useful information for immediate use or later reference. It is informative by telling readers what they need to know through facts and figures, as well as summaries and interpretations. A technical report is also factual, avoiding distorted information while simplifying and emphasizing details. It is efficient by presenting just the right amount of information at a time for easy understanding and reading. Additionally, a technical report requires a preconceived design to organize information in a way that allows readers to find what they need quickly using appropriate formats.
