Click a ribbon to open its project, double-click to rename or recolor it, and drag it to reorder its priority.
Selecting and opening
Click a ribbon to select its project; click it again to deselect. See Open and Edit a Project for what opens when you select one.
Renaming and recoloring
- Double-click a ribbon's title to rename the project inline.
- Double-click anywhere else on the ribbon's body to open the Color Dial and choose a new color for it.
Reordering priority
Drag a ribbon up or down past a neighboring ribbon to swap their order. This changes that project's priority within its hierarchy level, which controls where it stacks among the other ribbons at that level. See Understanding the Execution Hierarchy for how levels and priority ordering fit together.
Reading ribbon metrics
Each ribbon segment shows four figures for that project:
- Allocated capacity — the project's points as a percentage of the track's total net capacity (the same net-capacity figure behind the capacity guardrail), shown at the bottom of the segment.
- Expected progress — how far the project should be by now, as a percentage, with a note underneath reading "ON TRACK," a points-and-percentage-behind figure, or "NO PLANNED WORK."
- Estimated effort — the project's estimated points as a percentage of net capacity, shown at the top of the segment.
- Buffer — the slack between estimated effort and allocated capacity. There's no number for it: it's the translucent band across the top of the ribbon, and it only appears when that slack exists.
What to do about it
Reorder ribbons to reflect which projects should visually stand out first at a glance — priority ordering is a display/attention signal, not a scheduling constraint on its own. Pair it with the capacity guardrail next to a track's ribbons before reordering to push a project higher than a track's capacity can realistically support. Read a ribbon's expected-progress note alongside that sprint's Momentum or Track View state — a project reading "behind" here while the sprint overall looks fine is often the earliest sign of trouble for that specific project.
