What the status one-pager asks for
  1. Overall status, and the trend since last period
  2. Scope, schedule and cost, each with its evidence
  3. The top three risks, each with an owner and a date
  4. Decisions needed from the sponsor, and the cost of delay
  5. What I am asking for
A layout outline, not a screenshot. Real screenshots arrive with the launch. No mockups, no stock desks.
