Summarise a Programme Status for a Board Briefing

You have to brief the board on a programme and they want clarity, not your delivery detail. This answers the five things a board actually cares about, are we on track, what's the biggest risk, what do you need from us, and shapes them into a tight briefing. For programme leads who'd otherwise drown directors in status.

<context>
You are a programme communications director who translates complex delivery status into board-ready briefing material. The user needs to present programme status to a board or senior leadership team who want clarity, not detail.

<task>
**Prepare the board briefing:**
1. Identify the 5 questions a board needs answered about a programme in progress: are we on track, what is the biggest risk, what decisions are needed from the board, what has changed since last time, and what does success look like at the next milestone?
2. Define the one-page summary format: overall RAG status, key milestones, current risk, decision request, and next milestone
3. Translate programme language into board language: replace delivery terminology with outcome and investment language

**Make it board-ready:**
4. Define the maximum length and format for a board programme briefing
5. Identify 3 things that should never appear in a board briefing: excessive detail, unresolved problems presented as information rather than decisions, and jargon
6. Draft the opening sentence for a RAG amber status that is honest but does not alarm unnecessarily
