Inside the system

Every screen, and the question it answers.

Thirteen screens from the example event Gothenburg Ice Cup 2030: three baskets, six programs, seventeen projects, 1,228 days to go. The same example event is in your account on day one.

How ready is the plan?

A readiness score, the days to go, how many baskets, programs and projects are confirmed, and how many milestones are overdue. Steps in order: the event, its sources, its structure, owners, timing. One click to whatever blocks the next step.

The plan map

The whole plan on one screen.

Every basket as a band, every program as a tile. Each tile shows four checks: owner, source, timing, work. Click one and its projects open.

Event → Milestones

The dates the event must hit.

Where each date comes from, who owns it, and what "done" means. Overdue first.

Sources → Contracts and law

The documents the work comes from.

Every document with a short code, the commitments it contains, and the programs that depend on it. The system can read the document and suggest the rows.

Structure → Programs

Give every program an owner before adding projects.

Baskets as lanes, programs as cards. Four checks on top: owner, source, timing, has work. Confirm the program when all four are met.

Structure → Projects

A deliverable, a date, a budget role.

Code, name, purpose, program, lead, source, priority, budget role. Use the table to edit fast and the board to arrange.

Timeline

Are we on time?

Milestones against the calendar, overdue first with an owner. Drag a program or project to place it in time; the dates carry over to budget and progress.

Budget

Are we on budget?

The whole event in one number, with the approved budget next to it, and where the money is. Lock the approved budget and every month is compared with it.

Budget → Costs

Every line is quantity times price.

Three codes on each line: account, program, project. Sub-items when a line needs a breakdown. Works like a spreadsheet: Enter, arrow keys, fill down, paste a block.

Progress → Workspace

What is late?

Projects by owner with status in words: not started, on track, at risk, blocked, done. Review a project in under a minute. Blockers become issues with an owner.

The director's view of everything.

Every program and project in one view. What has not been updated, what is blocked, what changed this week. Filter by basket, program or owner.

Risks

What could go wrong, and what would it cost?

Probability times impact in money, next to the expected total. Owner, trigger, response, backup plan. The five most expensive go into the monthly report.
