How to communicate recovery progress to management or clients?

Recovery communication framework:

Initial briefing:

What happened (root cause)

Expected recovery timeline (realistic)

Key milestones to track

What success looks like

Regular updates:

Weekly progress reports

Key metrics vs baseline

What was done this period

Plan for next period

Metrics to share:

Postmaster reputation scores

Engagement rates

Delivery success rates

Volume sent vs planned

Expectation management:

Recovery takes weeks, not days

Progress may not be linear

Some permanent impact possible

Under-promise, over-deliver.

Regular voyage reports to the ship's owners. Honest about conditions and progress.
