Guardrail Kanban for Teams as a Service

Living-Gantt delivery with One-Channel intake and Greenlight Gate.
Clarity over ceremony.

The Delivery Compact

A simple promise about how we plan, build, and report—together.

What We Value

  • Clarity over ceremony — fewer meetings, clearer outcomes
  • One channel in — requests start in one place, never lost
  • Visible truth — the Living Gantt is the source of truth
  • Small slices, steady pace — ship value in increments, not big bangs
  • Fit for purpose — process bends to context, not the other way around
  • Accountability with empathy — we own outcomes, we surface risks early

Greenlight Gate

Has parent Objective, a rough estimate, and (if needed) sign-off collected by the app (email/UI).
No gate, no start. Gate passed, we move.

The Living Gantt

A Timeline That Moves With Reality

📊 Interactive Timeline

Objectives live on a quarter timeline; bars expand to show the "how". Click to center and reveal the plan.

🎨 Risk-Based Colors

Colors indicate delivery risk, not ceremony. Green = on track, Yellow = watch, Red = needs attention.

🔄 Breathes with Reality

The Gantt isn't a promise; it's a map that updates when reality moves. Slide bars, surface risk, move on.

💰 Budget-Anchored

Every piece of work ladders up to an objective (your budget unit). Track planned vs actual time and risk.
