1. Project Snapshot

2. Objectives (Measurable)

O1 - KPI: ___ | Baseline: ___ to Target: ___
3. Definition of Ready (DoR)
This work cannot start until:

- No open ambiguity that blocks execution
4. Dependencies & Constraints
Short and binding. Every dependency must handshake.
| Dependency | What we need | Needed by | Owner | Risk if late |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
