For example, I would like to see a filter that has not started- not planned so I can see if there are priority areas that we can see and need to focus budget and resources on. Whether this is done via a spreadsheet or interactive tool. I like the idea of an interactive tool because you could click into extra areas of information rather than be daunted by it all in front of you.
