Project Tracker

Multi-project tracker with status dashboards, milestone tracking, stalled project detection, priority scoring, and automated weekly progress reports.

Track every project in one place. Know what's moving, what's stalled, and what to kill.

by The Agent Ledger — theagentledger.com

Setup

Create projects/ directory and projects/DASHBOARD.md:

# Project Dashboard

Last updated: [date]

| Project | Status | Priority | Next Action | Due |
|---------|--------|----------|-------------|-----|

## Active Projects
<!-- Agent maintains this section -->

## On Hold
<!-- Paused but not abandoned -->

## Completed
<!-- Archive of finished work -->

How It Works

Adding a Project

When the user mentions a new project, create projects/<project-name>.md:

# Project: [Name]

**Status:** 🟢 Active | 🟡 On Hold | 🔴 Blocked | ✅ Done
**Priority:** P1 (critical) | P2 (important) | P3 (nice-to-have)
**Started:** [date]
**Target:** [deadline or "ongoing"]
**One-liner:** [what this project is in one sentence]

## Milestones

- [ ] Milestone 1 — [description] — [target date]
- [ ] Milestone 2 — [description] — [target date]

## Progress Log

### [date]
- What happened today

## Decisions

| Date | Decision | Rationale |
|------|----------|-----------|

## Blockers

- [blocker] → [who/what can unblock it]

Dashboard Updates

Update projects/DASHBOARD.md whenever:

• A project status changes
• A milestone is completed
• A new project is added
• During weekly reviews

Stalled Project Detection

A project is stalled if:

• No progress log entry in 7+ days
• Status is 🟢 Active but no recent milestone movement
• Has unresolved blockers older than 3 days

Flag stalled projects in daily briefings or heartbeat checks:

⚠️ Stalled: [Project Name] — no updates in [N] days. Continue, pause, or kill?

Weekly Review Format

Generate every Sunday (or on request):

# Weekly Project Review — [date range]

## Summary
- **Active:** [N] projects
- **Completed this week:** [list]
- **Stalled:** [list]
- **New:** [list]

## Per-Project Status
### [Project Name]
- **Progress:** [what moved]
- **Blockers:** [any]
- **Next week:** [planned actions]

## Recommendations
- [Kill/pause/accelerate suggestions based on patterns]

Priority Scoring

When the user has too many active projects, help prioritize:

Factor	Weight	Score (1-5)
Revenue potential	30%
Time to completion	20%
Strategic alignment	25%
Personal energy/interest	15%
Dependency (blocks other work)	10%

Weighted score = Σ(weight × score). Projects below 2.5 are candidates for pause/kill.

Integration

• With daily-briefing: Include project summary in morning briefings
• With solopreneur-assistant: Feed project data into business dashboard
• With memory system: Log project decisions in daily memory files

Customization

• Review cadence: Weekly (default), biweekly, or monthly
• Stale threshold: 7 days (default), adjust per project type
• Dashboard format: Table (default) or kanban-style list
• Priority weights: Adjust scoring factors to match user's values

Troubleshooting

Issue	Fix
Dashboard out of sync	Re-scan projects/ directory, rebuild from individual files
Too many active projects	Run priority scoring, recommend pause/kill for bottom 30%
Stalled detection too aggressive	Increase stale threshold for long-cycle projects
Missing progress entries	Set up heartbeat reminder to log daily
