A lightweight method
How to Use This Tool
Build only enough structure to make the next decision or action clear.
Use observable actions
Prefer ‘measure the wall’ over vague entries such as ‘research’ or ‘get organized’.
Keep only ready work Active
Leave blocked or later tasks in Backlog until someone can move them forward.
What this tool does—and does not do
This tool creates a lightweight task breakdown. It does not calculate dependencies, budgets, critical paths, schedules, or resource capacity.
Move from planning to doing
Keep the Current Work Visible in Turnboards
Copy the ready actions into a board, keep later work in Backlog, and use Active for the few tasks that can move now.
