The Stuck Project Scorecard | VOLTS Method
Free VOLTS diagnostic

Is your project moving, or just professionally circling?

Use the Stuck Project Scorecard to diagnose where your work is losing momentum, then leave with a clearer view of what to fix first.

5 minutes 20 questions Instant score Built on VOLTS

Most stuck work does not look stuck. It looks busy.

The meeting produces another meeting

Everyone talks, everyone nods, and nobody leaves with a decision that can survive the room.

The blockers are wrapped in fog

People say legal, data, budget or governance is blocking progress, but the real Condition to Proceed is not named.

The work has activity, not proof

There are actions, updates and decks. What is missing is evidence that the project can actually move.

Score your project against the five VOLTS moves.

The scorecard gives you a practical read on where your project is losing momentum. It is not a maturity model, a corporate horoscope or a new excuse to create a steering group.

Answer each question honestly. At the end, you will get a score, a diagnosis and the first next move to focus on.

V
Visualise & AlignCan everyone state the decision clearly?
O
Own the ObstaclesAre the real blockers named and owned?
L
Launch & LearnIs there a proof step that creates evidence?
T
Track & TuneIs the cadence tracking movement, not noise?
S
Story & SparkCan the story travel beyond the room?

Diagnose the drift.

For each question, choose No, Partly or Yes. Be honest. The useful answer is not the polite one.

Start with V. Each section has four questions. Complete one section and the next one opens.
