Phase 6 · sequencing, live
The Five are chosen. Now the harder question: in what order, against what capacity, and what breaks if you move one? Drag an initiative to another quarter and watch load, dependencies, and cumulative decision value answer back — immediately.
The sequencing board
Four quarters, four workstreams, one delivery team. Cards carry their effort with them, so every move is a trade — pull something into Q1 and something else has to leave.
How to read it
The board is deliberately unforgiving. Every rule below exists because a roadmap that ignores it fails in month four.
Each card carries person-months. Quarterly load is measured against one delivery capacity — over-commit and the meter turns, immediately and visibly.
Arrows run from what must land first. Schedule a card before its dependency and it flags red — the most common way roadmaps quietly slip.
The curve tracks value released, not work started. Front-load proof so horizon two is funded by results rather than optimism.
Regulatory and contractual work is marked and must be scheduled. Leaving a Must unscheduled is a decision — make it out loud.
