We offer the following definitions for status indicators as guidelines to facilitate review and management of the dynamics involved in completing goals, projects and tasks.  Choose the appropriate status relative to agreed upon plans, target dates and key performance indicators.


Status indicators facilitate individual and team review of progress.  Status indicators with colored background indicate ongoing or pending activity.  A green back ground indicates progress according to plan. The yellowish background indicates a risk has been identified, and a red back ground indicates trouble.  Status indicators without a background indicate activity has ceased.
