Insight
A status report can be green for months while the project drifts. Usually nobody is lying. The report measures activity, and activity continues long after progress has stopped.
An owner or a board can ask better questions: which complete journeys have been tested with real exceptions, how much data has been reconciled with the current system, which decisions are waiting and for how long, and what changed since last month that wasn't planned.
Clear answers to those questions say more about a project's health than any color.
