Weather project

The project weather forecast is a project tracking methodology featuring an indicator that provides a quick, at-a-glance view of theprogress of a projectin progress.

Located in theproject planning tool and linked to the task on which it depends, it is most often represented visually by iconography borrowed from meteorology, from which it takes its name. Sunshine means that the project is running smoothly, clouds may mean a few problems to be solved, while rain or thunderstorms represent a status requiring special attention, such as a deviation from the forecast budget or a risk of failure.

However, the project weather forecast can be customized with codes, names or colors specific to your company, as long as it is clearly understood by all. In fact, the aim of this weather forecasting method is to offer a quick and simple reading grid to boost team productivity and communication.
