This is one of nine dimensions in the OpsCorp method. The Planning Readiness Scorecard assesses your program across all nine in under ten minutes.
What It Is
The Calendar Overlay maps risks against the program timeline to identify when the program is most vulnerable. It combines the constraints calendar with the risk register to show which periods carry the highest concentration of risk.
Why It Matters
Risks aren’t evenly distributed across a timeline. They cluster around launches, handoffs, budget cycles, and leadership transitions. The Calendar Overlay reveals these high-risk windows so the team can plan additional oversight, buffer time, or contingency resources.
