Stakeholder Update
Generate a stakeholder status update for "$ARGUMENTS". Summarize sprint progress, set RAG status, list risks and mitigations, note decisions needed, and include upcoming milestones.
Prerequisites
Check that .project/$ARGUMENTS/00-initiate.md exists. If it does not, tell the user to run an Initiate skill first (e.g., project-charter) and stop.
If the user passes --skip-checks, skip the prerequisite check and log the skip to .project/$ARGUMENTS/skip-log.md with a timestamp and reason.
Process
-
Read existing context:
- Read
.project/$ARGUMENTS/00-initiate.mdfor stakeholder map, project charter, and team context - Read
.project/$ARGUMENTS/03-review.mdif it exists (for sprint review results and metrics) - Read
.project/$ARGUMENTS/02-sprint.mdif it exists (for sprint state, blockers, and standup history) - Read
.project/$ARGUMENTS/01-plan.mdif it exists (for roadmap, backlog, and milestone plan)
- Read
-
Read stakeholder map:
- Identify key stakeholders from the initiate phase
- Determine the appropriate level of detail for each audience (executive summary vs. detailed report)
- Note each stakeholder's primary concerns and interests
- Tailor the update tone: executives want conciseness, technical leads want specifics
-
Summarize sprint progress:
- Report percentage of stories complete (completed / committed)
- List key deliverables completed this sprint (feature names, not story IDs)
- Note any significant achievements or milestones reached
- If a sprint review exists, reference the commitment ratio
- Keep the summary to 3-5 bullet points maximum
-
Set overall RAG status:
- Green: on track, no significant risks, sprint goal achieved or on pace
- Amber: minor risks or delays, sprint goal at risk but recoverable, action needed
- Red: significant risks or blockers, sprint goal missed or unrecoverable, escalation needed
- Provide a one-line justification for the RAG status
- Compare to the previous update's RAG status (improving, stable, or declining)
-
List key risks and mitigations (top 3):
- For each risk, describe: what the risk is, its likelihood (high/medium/low), its impact (high/medium/low)
- For each risk, describe the mitigation plan or contingency action
- Note any risks that have been resolved since the last update
- Prioritize risks by impact — stakeholders care most about what could derail the project
- If there are more than 3 risks, list the top 3 and note that additional risks are tracked separately
-
Note decisions needed from stakeholders:
- List any decisions that are pending and blocking progress
- For each decision, explain: what the decision is, who needs to make it, the deadline, and the impact of delay
- Provide a recommendation for each decision (do not just present options without a suggested path)
- Mark decisions by urgency: this week, this sprint, next sprint
-
List upcoming milestones and timeline confidence:
- List the next 2-3 milestones with target dates
- For each milestone, rate timeline confidence: high (>90%), medium (60-90%), low (<60%)
- Note any milestones that have shifted since the last update and explain why
- If there are dependencies on external teams or approvals, flag them here
-
Include team capacity and morale note:
- Briefly note team capacity: full strength, reduced (and why), or ramping up
- Note any morale concerns: burnout risk, sustained overtime, team changes, celebrations
- Keep this section brief (2-3 sentences) — it provides human context to the numbers
- If there are asks related to team needs (hiring, tools, training), include them here
-
Write the artifact — append to
.project/$ARGUMENTS/03-review.mdunder a## Stakeholder Updatesection:- RAG Status — Green/Amber/Red with one-line justification
- Sprint Progress — key deliverables and completion percentage
- Top Risks — top 3 risks with likelihood, impact, and mitigation
- Decisions Needed — pending decisions with owners and deadlines
- Upcoming Milestones — next milestones with dates and confidence levels
- Team & Capacity — capacity status and morale note
Output
Stakeholder update appended to .project/$ARGUMENTS/03-review.md. Present a summary highlighting:
- RAG status with justification
- Sprint progress percentage and key deliverables
- Top risk and its mitigation
- Most urgent decision needed
- Next milestone and timeline confidence
