Hi James,

Nice mock up :-)

So far I agree with all the comments.  I'd like to "me too" on the
heath check bit.  Maybe just an icon on the card display (green check
mark or a red X)? Then when you click on the card you can get all the
card details plus the health check in a checklist view.  I want the
health check to be binary: healthy or not healthy.

I'd like to see is a reordering of the sections on the mockup. I'd
like them to read similar to this order which highlights current
activities and blockers:

 1. in progress
 1. blocked
 1. ready
 1. planned
 1. incomplete
 1. deferred
 1. done  (with a little ajax firework display :-)

We could probably make a case for moving incomplete under blocked but
since incomplete only happens at quarter end, it's likely to be in
planned or ready status for a long while and the current order would
keep that showing.  I want people to have to go through all the other
stuff before they see what's done to force an awareness of all the
other states before they taste victory.
