A 1:1 square relationship diagram: tasks assigned across four impact-by-cost quadrants, flat geometric blocks with thin arc arrows.
Do-first in brick orange
The "Do first" quadrant changes from plum red to brick orange; the layout is unchanged.
Design itMake a 1:1 square one-page relationship diagram to show project team members at the weekly meeting. Title: "The Four-Quadrant Task Method". Sort tasks by impact and cost into four groups: low cost, high impact — 12 tasks, "Do first"; high cost, high impact — 7 tasks, "Scheduled"; low cost, low impact — 19 tasks, "Quick wins"; high cost, low impact — 5 tasks, "Skip". Add three criteria each for judging impact and cost, two scheduling principles, and the work that can be crossed off directly. The four cells form a square, larger cells hold more tasks, separated by a thin line; the two axes mark impact and cost, both low to high. Each cell shows its name and count, one dot per task. Keep the weighty square-tile feel, and add three thin arc arrows across cells to show "Scheduled" turning into "Do first" once costs drop. Use only flat geometric blocks and thin lines. Pure white background with four restrained task colors: light sage green for "Skip", ochre yellow for "Scheduled", forest green for "Quick wins", and plum red for "Do first"; axes and notes all in dark gray, with only minimal emphasis on cross-cell relationships.
Change the quick-win count
The "Quick wins" count changes from 19 to 15; the layout is unchanged.
