Overview
A programme board meets to decide, not to listen to status. This deck puts the decisions on the closing slide, the evidence on the slides before it, and keeps the whole pack readable in a 75-minute meeting: status, project summaries, benefits, risks and escalations.
The sample follows a fictional customer platform programme at Thistledown Digital: four projects, an $8.4M budget forecast 2.1% over, benefits at 42% of plan and five risks. It asks the board for three decisions. Replace the projects, figures and names with your own and keep the asks short.
Useful for
- A monthly programme board where a sponsor approves a recovery plan and a contingency release
- A quarterly review that tracks benefits delivered against the business case
- A PMO pack that shows four projects, their risks and the escalations on one page each
What's included
- Cover and a programme status slide with three headline numbers and a spend trend
- Project summary with a big number and a one-line report on each of four projects
- Benefits scorecard with six measures, targets and status, plus a headline benefits slide
- Risk table with owner, rating and action, and a three-column escalation slide
- Decisions slide for the board to approve, record and date
- Make it yours guide slide and a closing slide with contacts

Questions
Are the organization, people and figures real?
No. Thistledown Digital, every person named and every figure are fictional sample data. Replace them with your own programme details before you share the deck.
How many decisions should a board pack ask for?
Two to four. The sample asks for three, each with a recommendation. If you need more, the board will not have time to discuss them properly, so split the pack.
What are tolerances?
Tolerances are limits the board agrees in advance, such as 10% on cost and 4 weeks on schedule. A project inside them continues; outside them it is escalated for a decision.
