Every business, every project, every team and every individual professional needs to update others on their progress at some point. And when we do, no matter how complex the scenario, the 'So what' can be boiled down to one of three words: the status of red, amber or green. Just like a traffic light.

This pattern, based on the Minto Pyramid Principle, provides you with an easy way to explain your status, whatever your colour.

We offer it as an annotated example so you can cut and paste your own content into it, rather than starting from scratch.

Prepared by Davina Stanley and Gerard Castles of Clarity College, this is based on one of the seven most commonly used storyline patterns in business.
