  • Success metrics – two data-points that define “done”.
  • Team commitments – who owns what deliverable.
  • Risks & blockers – surface issues before they explode.
  • Support needed – resources or approvals to unblock flow.

FAQ

Why a single page?
Attention spans are shrinking; one concise brief keeps the team aligned without a 20-slide deck.

Can I add more sections?
Yes. Duplicate the table rows or add headings for budget, timeline, or dependencies.

Does it replace a full project charter?
No. It’s the “cockpit view” — perfect for agile sprints, marketing campaigns, or hackathons. Use a charter for multi-quarter initiatives.
