What's included

Technical, data, training, communications, support and rollback: each readiness criterion has an owner, a target date, an evidence link and whether it needs a formal sign-off. The criteria feed a readiness review board, and the review feeds the go-live approval, so the dashboard answers the only question that matters in the last fortnight: are we ready, and if not, which category is not.

Workflow

5 statuses that match the work

Statuses are the board's columns and the filters everywhere else. The one marked complete counts a task as done; edit the list any time.

  1. Not started
  2. In progress
  3. Blocked
  4. In review
  5. Complete
Built-in dependency logic

14 links, so a slip shows up where it lands

The longest chain in the template. Every link is real: the Gantt draws it, the Impact view scores it, and the simulator moves everything downstream when you delay a task.
