TL;DR
Three sections: what we use, what could go wrong, what we're doing about it.
Designed for 10 minutes of board time on a quarterly basis.
Always end with a single 'asks' line: scope, budget, or accountability.
Sections to include
Each section is short.
- What we use: tool inventory + what each is for.
- What could go wrong: top 3 risks + status.
- What we're doing about it: policy status, training cadence, recent incidents.
- Asks: one decision the board needs to make this quarter.
