End Goal

Build a repeatable project management system where:

• Every project has a clear outcome and Definition of Done.
• Scope and major milestones are agreed before commitment.
• A project owner within the team drives each project.
• Project owners maintain their own project information.
• Dependencies, risks and blockers become visible early.
• Estimates account for actual capacity and operational interruptions.
• Scope changes result in explicit trade-offs.
• I manage through milestones and outcomes rather than individual tasks.
• Project health tells me where my intervention is required.
• The portfolio shows what the team has committed to and whether we have capacity for more work.
• Monday.com becomes a management tool rather than a project list that nobody updates.
