Haha, looks like the project manager needs to work on their 'Coherence' skills. Directing a report to the wrong audience is a communication train wreck!

This is a classic case of 'Context' gone wrong. The project manager failed to consider the appropriate context for the report.

The project manager should have addressed the 'Audience' component of the 5Cs. Clearly, the stakeholders felt the report was not meant for them.
