# Active Projects Board The Active Projects Board is the stable tracking layer beneath the Daily Joshua Brief. The Daily Joshua Brief answers: > What matters today? The Active Projects Board answers: > What is currently alive, where does it stand, who owns the next move, and what should not be forgotten? This board should stay simple enough to review in five minutes. --- ## Operating Rules - Only current or near-current work belongs in Active Now. - Active Now should usually stay between 5–8 projects maximum. - Every project must have a next action. - If there is no next action, move it to Parked / Captured. - Captured means safe; captured does not mean active. - Waiting On means something cannot move until another person, tool, or event moves. - Done / Shipped should be maintained because visible progress matters. - This board feeds the Daily Joshua Brief. - Joshua should use this board to recommend daily priorities. - Do not turn this into a complicated project management system yet. --- ## Active Now | Project | Lane | Status | Next Action | Owner / Needed Voice | Timing | Notes | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | Never Stand Alone | Publishing Desk | Final edit | Complete final reader/theology/logic/voice pass and prepare for final manuscript formatting | Ashley for final judgment; AI for polish/checking | Immediate | Closest to done. Keep near the top until shipped. | | Watchmen Training Videos | Training / Multiplication / Watchmen | Tuesday recording prep | Finalize conversation flow for Ashley and Joe; identify clip-worthy training bites | Ashley and Joe | Tuesday morning recording | Source content should later become training clips, leader guide, podcast/disciple-bite segments, and Watchmen resource material. | | 5x5 Genesis Recording 1 | Discipleship / Media / Digital Reach | Recording structure needed | Prepare long-form conversation structure with reusable opening/closing and possible five-minute extract targets | Ashley and Joe; Adam may later extract/edit clips | Tuesday / near-term | Use long-form recording first, then pull short 5-minute discipleship bites. | | Brook Digital Deliverables | Digital Reach Platform | Task list/message needed | Create clear May digital task list for Brook: YouTube channel, ads, website updates, launch support | Ashley for approval; Brook for execution | End of May targets / some items this week | Brook is spelled B-R-O-O-K.

Top candidates from Active Now. 2. Time-sensitive items from Waiting On. 3. Anything with “Immediate,” “Today,” “This week,” or a specific date in Timing. 4. Items needing Ashley’s voice. 5. Items that should not be chased today. The Daily Joshua Brief should not copy this whole board. It should summarize only what matters today. --- ## Definition of Done This step is complete when: - /command-center/active-projects.md exists. - It contains the five board sections: - Active Now - Next Up - Waiting On - Parked / Captured - Done / Shipped - The current seed projects are added. - Every seeded project has a next action or is intentionally parked. - The Command Center README/front page links to Active Projects. - The Daily Joshua Brief can clearly pull from this board. - The board is simple enough to review in five minutes.
