On track, two asks

Atlas Programme · May steering update. A status deck is a decision instrument, not a diary: what moved, what we are watching, and the decisions we need while there is still time to act. This deck is built that way — and shows you how.

06 Decisions

Two decisions today keep November safe

Decision 1

Approve the migration vendor

The €80k contract closes the dry-run capacity gap; two weeks of onboarding are already in the plan.

Decide by 7 Jun · sponsor: CFO

Decision 2

Release one data engineer

Four weeks from Team B unblocks the reconciliation scripts before the cleanup sprint ends.

Decide by 14 Jun · sponsor: CTO

If either slips

Go-live moves a month — the workplan slide shows the path either way.

14 So what
The habit

A status update is a decision instrument, not a diary. Lead with what changed — and ask early, because bad news does not improve with age.

Free canvas — keep the header and footer, then compose any layout you like in this space. Text, boxes, inline SVG, a table or a chart all still convert to native, editable objects.
