VP Reality Check

What Your Directors
Filter Out

By the time project data reaches your desk, it's been through three layers of "optimization." Here's what you're not seeing.

The Information Funnel

Raw Data

100%

Complete project data: metrics, timelines, dependencies, blockers, team feedback, resource usage.

PM Summary

~70%

"Team is working hard." "We're managing it." Uncomfortable details get softened or omitted.

Lost: 30% of critical context

Director Rollup

~45%

Multiple PM reports get aggregated. Exceptions become "risks being managed." Trends get averaged away.

Lost: Additional 25% of signal

What You See

~25%

Polished executive summary. All green status. "On track with minor risks." You're making decisions on a quarter of the picture.

Lost: 75% of reality

What's Getting Filtered Out

Early Warning Signs

The small velocity drops and timeline slips that indicate bigger problems. Reported as "manageable" until they aren't.

Team Morale Issues

Burnout, frustration, or attrition risks. Directors don't want to "alarm" you with people problems.

Technical Debt

Shortcuts taken to meet deadlines. Invisible costs accumulating. "We'll fix it later" becomes never.

Budget Realities

True spend rates vs projections. Scope creep costs. The math that doesn't add up but gets presented as "within tolerance."
