Fictional internal systems project | Status at the end of Week 4
Management snapshot
Reporting rule: completion is counted only when a milestone has been accepted. One of four milestones is complete (25% by count). This is not an earned-value or overall physical-progress calculation.
There are three open risks, three open actions and two pending decisions in this fictional snapshot.

1 of 4 1 of 4 - At risk

Reading the dashboard
At risk means the planned acceptance is threatened and needs a decision or recovery action. In progress is not proof of schedule compliance. Week numbers are relative planning assumptions, not promised delivery dates.

|---|---|---|---|
| R1 / High | Source data definitions remain unresolved. | Data lead | Resolve definitions before M2 acceptance. |
| R2 / Medium | User reviewers have limited availability. | Operations lead | Agree review slots before Week 5. |
| R3 / Medium | Support ownership is not confirmed. | Project manager | Agree support role before handover. |
