Kickoff readiness across six artefacts and four gates An artefact is ready for kickoff only once it clears every gate, drafted, sourced, reviewed and signed, so one blocked gate holds the whole row and the date slips on a named gap with an owner rather than a vague sense that something is unfinished.
Kickoff readiness across six artefacts and four gates
A readiness board with six artefact rows and four gate columns, plus a status column on the right. The gates are Drafted, Sourced, Reviewed and Signed, beside a Kickoff artefact label column on the left. Each cell is a flat tile: a green tick reading Pass, or an amber cross reading Held. Architecture Vision and the Stakeholder map clear every gate and read Ready. The Principles register and the Statement of Work pass until Signed and read Held. The Scope statement is held at Reviewed and Signed, and the Risk and waiver log is held from Sourced onward. A green and amber legend names the two states the board encodes.
