Project Status Table with RAG Traffic Light Indicators

Slide Content

This PowerPoint slide is titled "Project Status Table with RAG Traffic Light Indicators" and uses RAG (Red, Amber, Green) traffic light colors to denote project status. Four rows labeled A to D and five columns represent different metrics or categories for monitoring. Each cell within the table contains a set of three traffic lights, with red signifying "No Go," amber "Danger," and green "Go," providing an immediate visual representation of the project areas' status. On the right side, there's a section for a "Summary Title" and a placeholder for commentary or summarization of the table's contents. This conciseness supports quick scanning and decision-making.

Graphical Look

• The slide header is bold and uses a large, readable sans-serif font.
• The table has a grid layout with rows and columns clearly defined using alternate shading for clarity.
• Traffic light indicators are simple, circular icons with red, amber, and green colors representing different statuses.
• The table rows are labeled with "Row A" to "Row D" on a blue vertical banner, creating a distinct navigation aid.
• The column headers are labeled "Column 1" through "Column 5" in a lighter shade than the rows.
• There's a separate text box with a blue background on the right labeled "Summary Title Here" with a gray area for additional text.

The overall design is clean, with a professional look, and uses colors purposefully to categorize and prioritize information visually. It effectively balances text, color, and graphical elements to convey status at a glance.

Use Cases

• To provide a visual report of project metrics during a status update meeting.
• To highlight risk areas in a project dashboard to senior management or stakeholders.
