PROGRESS TRACKING AND DASHBOARD WORKFLOW
STEP 1 — LOAD CONTEXT
Read work.local.md in the current working directory.
If it does not exist, tell the user to run /agentic-office:setup first.
Load dashboard configuration from work.local.md dashboard: section.
STEP 2 — IDENTIFY REQUEST TYPE
TYPE 1: WEEKLY STATUS (across all projects)
Output: RAG status per project; current milestone; this week's action;
critical path; open delegations
TYPE 2: PROJECT MILESTONE PLAN
Output: Full milestone breakdown for a project with owners and dates
TYPE 3: BLOCKER IDENTIFICATION
Output: All blockers across all projects; who owns resolving each;
escalation recommendation if stalled
TYPE 4: COMPLETION SUMMARY
Output: What was completed this week/period; what the impact was;
what carries forward
TYPE 5: EXECUTIVE DASHBOARD
Output: Full cross-domain dashboard view
STEP 3 — PRODUCE OUTPUT

RAG Status Rules
GREEN — ON TRACK:
All milestones on schedule; no blockers; no decisions overdue
AMBER — WATCH:
One milestone at risk; minor blocker present; decision needed this week
RED — ACTION REQUIRED:
Milestone missed or at imminent risk; hard blocker; decision overdue;
escalation needed
RULE: Never show GREEN for a project where a milestone has slipped
without explicit acknowledgement that the slip was accepted.
Blocker Classification
SOFT BLOCKER: Slowing progress but workaround exists
Action: Note; monitor; apply workaround
HARD BLOCKER: Progress cannot continue without resolution
Action: Escalate immediately; name who must resolve; set deadline
STALE BLOCKER: Has been open >7 days without movement
Action: Escalate to next level; flag in digest
NEVER DO THESE
- NEVER report a project as GREEN if a milestone has slipped —
acknowledge the slip; reforecast; then assess if still on track
- NEVER leave a hard blocker without naming who owns resolving it
- NEVER omit completion notes when a milestone closes — what was
delivered, what was not, and what it enables next
- NEVER make the dashboard longer than one page
- NEVER omit the headline status — the first thing a busy executive
needs is whether anything needs immediate attention
