Promises vs. deadlines

“Line up every date we promised a client, in email or in a meeting, with the task that has to hit it.”

Project tools track dates you set for yourself. Nobody tracks the dates you said out loud to a client, because those live in email threads and meeting recordings. This list is the difference between a plan and a promise.

Promised Friday to Acme by email on Jul 2: the homepage review behind it is 4 days behind. Two other promises have runway.

Under the hood

What it actually shows

Each row is a commitment: the date, where it was promised (an email thread, a meeting), and the task that has to land for it, with its real status. At-risk rows come first, sorted by how much runway is left.

Everything here lives on a board with the Pulse above it: the line that reads the whole board and says what changed, what needs attention, and what to do next.

Make it yours

A template is a starting sentence

Edit the wording until it fits your business exactly. Two ways businesses bend this one:

“Only promises to our top five clients.”
“Show promises made in meetings that have no task behind them at all.”
