The Challenge Every Manager Faces
Let me ask you something: Have you ever felt like you're working harder than ever, yet important processes still slip through the cracks?
You're not alone.
Most managers experience the same frustration. Despite spreadsheets, status meetings, and constant follow-ups, team accountability fades. Deadlines get missed. And you're left wondering why nothing seems to stick.
A Proven Solution That Works
Effective RAG Trackers introduces you to a simple visual management system that delivers immediate clarity on process performance.
Using the proven Red-Amber-Green approach, you'll gain the visibility and accountability you need to keep projects on track and teams focused—without adding complexity to your already busy schedule.
This approach is under used by most businesses and this book helps you avoid common mistakes.
What You'll Learn
This book is organised into four comprehensive sections that take you from basics to advanced implementation:
Overview of the RAG Management System – Understand what makes an effective tracker and the psychology behind why visual management drives action
When to Use RAG – Discover proven application areas across your business and real-world scenarios where RAG delivers the biggest impact
Getting Started with RAG – Follow step-by-step implementation guidance with quick-start templates and rollout strategies that ensure team adoption
