Status Tracking Reference
Use moderate status tracking: enough rhythm to keep work visible and unblock decisions, without creating heavy governance unless project complexity requires it.
Default Check-ins
Create lightweight weekly Automatic Check-ins unless an equivalent prompt already exists.
Weekly focus check-in
Ask each active participant what they are focused on this week and whether their priorities have changed.
Weekly progress and blocker check-in
Ask each active participant what progressed, what is blocked, and what support or decision is needed.
Status Updates
Status updates go on the Message Board and are owned by the project DRI. Use a consistent, short format so stakeholders can scan progress quickly.

Governance Level
Keep the cadence practical. Add extra reporting, approval tracking, or steering updates only when the project has high risk, many teams, external commitments, or complex dependencies.
