Track your mandate plan, from commitment to delivered project
A mandate plan means dozens of commitments made to residents, to be delivered over six years. Elected officials want to know where each one stands. Departments must turn them into concrete projects. And at mid-term as at the end of the mandate, you need to show what has been done.
With Gladys, each commitment becomes a tracked objective, connected to the actions and projects that deliver it. Progress rolls up on its own, with no manual consolidation.
From programme to projects, in three levels
- 1
The main priorities: for example “a greener town” or “accessible public services”.
- 2
The commitments: “plant 1,000 trees”, “open a public services hub”. Each has a lead elected official, a lead department and indicators.
- 3
The projects and actions: the work carried out by departments, with its tasks, deadlines and budget.
When a project moves forward, the commitment it serves moves forward too. The elected official sees the real status, and the department has only one place to update.
A dashboard for elected officials and senior management
-
The progress of each commitment, by priority or by portfolio of responsibilities.
-
Late or blocked commitments, spotted at a glance thanks to project weather.
-
Custom indicators: number of homes renovated, kilometres of cycle lanes, nursery places.
-
PowerPoint reports generated in one click for the mayor’s office, the council or communication.
Ready for the mid-term review
The mid-term review is prepared continuously, not in a rush. The full history is kept: what was launched, delivered or postponed, and why. Decisions made along the way remain traceable in each project’s discussions.
Why not a spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet for tracking the mandate works for the first year. Then versions multiply, updates depend on a single person, and nobody knows which column is up to date. Gladys keeps a single source of truth, updated by those who do the work and readable by those who decide.
Frequently asked questions
Can we bring in an existing mandate plan?
Yes, priorities and commitments can be imported or entered quickly (guide “Importing projects from Excel”).
Do elected officials need training?
No. Viewer access is enough to consult the dashboard and reports.
Can mandate tracking be connected to the PPI?
Yes, the investment projects tracked in the PPI directly serve the commitments of the mandate. See Multi-year investment plan.
