How many times have you discovered a project in the red… too late? An unhappy client, a vanished margin, an overworked team. Project management often feels like a race against unpleasant surprises. What if you could anticipate instead of react?
With the new Project Health feature, Furious gives you an instant overview of the real status of your projects and alerts you to critical issues before they become problems. No more digging through ten tabs to figure out what’s going wrong.
The Problem: Managing Blindly is Costly
Managing an agency without a clear vision of its projects is a bit like driving in fog with broken windshield wipers. Not ideal.
Classic symptoms:
- You discover budget overruns at the end of the month
- Alerts come too late (when the project is already in deficit)
- Your project managers spend more time searching for information than acting
- Impossible to prioritize: everything seems urgent, nothing is clear
The result? Lost time, money slipping away, and teams operating blindly. You know: a poorly managed project rarely results in a satisfied client.
The Solution: an Intelligent Summary that Tells You What Matters
The project homepage has been completely redesigned to integrate the Project Health block. The AI analyzes your data in real-time and provides you with a clear summary of critical points.
What you see at a glance:
- Essential project indicators (budget, workload, profitability, deadlines)
- Critical deviations highlighted automatically
- A consolidated view of output vs. workload
- Warning signs detected by AI
No more juggling between multiple views or manually recalculating your margins. Furious does the work for you and alerts you to what needs your immediate attention.
Key Actions to Take Based on Alerts
AI doesn’t just alert you: it guides you towards the right actions. Here’s how to react effectively to the most common problems.
Alert: Workload Overrun Detected
Immediate actions:
- Re-evaluate future planned time: review upcoming tasks and identify what can be optimized, deprioritized, or removed.
- Renegotiate with the client: if the scope has drifted, open a dialogue to reframe expectations or propose an amendment.
- Reallocate resources: identify available team members who can support the team on critical tasks.
Internal communications to establish:
- Quick check-in with the relevant project manager to validate the diagnosis and actions
- Team briefing to reorganize priorities and clarify who does what
- Escalate to management if client renegotiation requires a strategic decision
Alert: Ongoing Budget Overrun
Immediate actions:
- Analyze the source of the overrun: Excessive time spent? Unforeseen purchases? Poorly defined scope?
- Block non-critical expenses: temporarily freeze non-essential external purchases or services.
- Adjust the delivery schedule: prioritize key deliverables to mitigate losses.
Internal communications to establish:
- Immediate alert to the project manager and production manager
- Situation update with the client to reframe expectations if necessary
- Weekly update to track the situation’s improvement
Alert: Profitability at Risk
Immediate actions:
- Identify unforeseen cost items: where exactly is the money going?
- Review invoicing: Have delivered services not been invoiced?
- Challenge external purchases: can certain tasks be internalized or renegotiated with suppliers?
Internal communications to establish:
- Crisis meeting with the project manager / sales / management trio
- Shared action plan with regular progress updates
- Transparent communication with the team on levers for action (without creating panic)
Why this Changes Everything
1. You anticipate instead of reacting
AI detects weak signals before they become major issues. A budget overrun looming? An overload threatening delivery? You’re warned.
2. You save valuable time
No more back-and-forth between tabs to piece together information. The intelligent summary gives you the essentials in seconds. Your project managers can finally focus on execution rather than reporting.
3. You manage with clarity
Having a clear view of the real status of your projects means being able to make the right decisions at the right time. Reallocate resources, adjust planning, alert the client… before things become critical.
With Furious, we have a cockpit, a GPS, and a safeguard co-pilot. It's perfect for proactively managing our operations, not just in emergencies.

No configuration needed. The feature is automatically activated for all Furious clients. It relies on your existing data to generate analyses.
