Project readiness
GREEN — ready for the next step
Critical information is complete, scope is clear and critical risk is controlled.
Proceed through the gate and confirm the information/scope basis.YELLOW — conditional with open items
Controlled assumptions or missing information may affect price, time or scope.
Assign an owner, due date and required information.RED — do not pass the gate yet
A critical safety, legal, capacity, sign-off, cybersecurity or ownership issue remains.
Gather evidence, survey or obtain authority approval first.Safety, legal, critical capacity, professional sign-off, cybersecurity and scope ownership issues must not be downgraded from RED to YELLOW just to accelerate work.
