Project status evidence for distributed operations
A reviewable structure for milestones, dependencies, risks, blockers, and decisions in offshore project support.
Method: require milestone evidence, dependency owner, due date, risk category, blocker, next decision, source link, update date, reviewer, and close note.
Headline finding: 10 status fields prevent a percentage-complete update from hiding the next decision.
Use a single project register and keep blocked items visible. Related research: /research/philippines-project-tracking-status-evidence, /research/philippines-outsourcing-weekly-review-method, and /research/philippines-operations-handoff-evidence.
FAQ: Who owns a blocked item? The named owner of the decision, not necessarily the person maintaining the register.
