RAG Reports
RAG (Red, Amber, Green) reports are a visual management tool used to quickly assess the status of projects, initiatives, or key performance areas. Each color represents a different level of progress or risk:
- Red: Indicates critical issues that require immediate attention. This could mean a project is significantly off track, resources are insufficient, or major risks have materialized.
- Amber: Signals caution—while progress is being made, there are concerns that could escalate without intervention. It suggests that corrective actions may be needed.
- Green: Represents smooth progress, with no major risks or blockers. Everything is on track according to plan.
