SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Perform a comprehensive health assessment across all active projects, surfacing blockers, velocity issues, and actionable next steps to maintain alignment with priorities.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Per-project health: Automatically assesses each project's health status (Healthy / At Risk / Blocked / Paused) based on blockers and cadence.
  • Cadence & Velocity analysis: Evaluates last updates and progress cadence for primary, secondary, and maintenance projects; flags inconsistencies.
  • Cross-project prioritization: Analyzes resource allocation and priority alignment to surface optimization opportunities and conflicts.
  • Actionable reporting: Generates a clear, structured health report with recommended next steps and milestones (e.g., unblock work, reallocate capacity).

Quick Start

To run a full health check for all active projects, trigger the Project Health Check workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I assess project health across an active portfolio?

Assess project health by scanning a project index and progress data to identify blockers, velocity issues, and cadence. This generates a structured report with health statuses and actionable next steps for all active projects.

What is project health checking based on velocity and blockers?

Project health checking evaluates progress cadence and blockers to assign statuses like Healthy, At Risk, Blocked, or Paused. It analyzes primary and maintenance projects to surface inconsistencies and alignment conflicts across the portfolio.

How do I generate a project health report from a project index?

Generate a project health report by reading the projects/INDEX.md file and analyzing per-project data. The workflow exports structured reporting with prioritization insights, recommended milestones, and capacity reallocation guidance.

Can I use automated health checks for cross-project prioritization?

Automated health checks support cross-project prioritization by analyzing resource allocation and priority alignment. The assessment surfaces optimization opportunities and conflicts across primary and secondary projects to maintain portfolio focus.

Does project health reporting work without external dependencies?

Project health reporting works without external dependencies, relying solely on internal project index files and progress tracking data. It requires no additional components to evaluate cadence, blockers, and overall portfolio status.

When do I need a consolidated project health assessment?

A consolidated health assessment is needed when managing multiple active projects requiring synchronized visibility. It identifies velocity drops, flags blocked work, and provides structured next steps to maintain alignment with shifting priorities.
