RAG
(Red Amber Green)
A traffic-light status showing whether something is on track, at risk or in serious trouble
What's it for?
Gives a quick traffic-light view of whether work is on track, at risk or in serious trouble.
For example…
A project is amber because a key supplier is late; the sponsor sees the same RAG on the dashboard and in the weekly slide pack
A project is rated amber because delivery is still possible but a supplier delay now threatens the planned launch date
Think of it like…
The warning lights on a car dashboard — one glance tells you whether to keep going or stop
