Program Health Dashboard

Roll multiple workstreams into a single, scannable one-page health view for program leads and steering committees.

When to use

• A program spans several projects/workstreams and needs one combined view.
• Prepping a steering/portfolio review.

For a single project's narrative update, use status-report; for a leadership narrative, exec-summary.

Inputs to gather

• The workstreams and their owners.
• Per workstream: RAG status, next milestone + date, top risk, key metric.
• Cross-program risks and dependencies (pull from raid-log / dependency-mapping).

Process

1. Set an overall program RAG with a one-line rationale (worst-of, weighted by importance — explain the logic).
2. Build the workstream table: name · owner · RAG · next milestone (date) · trend (↑/→/↓ vs. last period) · top risk.
3. Surface top cross-program risks/blockers (3–5 max) with owners.
4. Show key metrics vs. target where the program is measured (tie to okr-tracking).
5. List upcoming milestones across all streams in date order.
6. Note decisions needed from leadership.
