Each prerequisite for starting an engagement is one row, read across to its owner, its RAG status and the gap that remains. The board can start Phase A only once the not-ready and partial rows have a credible path to close.
A kickoff checklist is a readiness gate, not a formality. Here the sponsor and budget are ready, but a partly-formed governance board and an unagreed repository are the conditions the engagement must close in its first sprints.
Up to 8 rows; names hold 36 characters, owners and gaps 38, so every cell fits the board.
Set each factor's status and owner; the board redraws as you work. The readiness verdict and the next move appear here.
