CloseOut is thrilled to introduce Project Progress Tracker, a cutting-edge Project Management feature designed with a unique focus on quality. Backed by our expertise in Quality Management, Project Progress Tracker offers Project Managers unparalleled control over key project segments.
What is Project Progress Tracker?
Project Progress Tracker allows Project Managers to take charge of critical project components, manage their completion, and track their progress.
The feature enables Project Managers to isolate and prioritise crucial tasks within a project, giving them full autonomy over key segments. These segments, handled separately from the rest of the project, are called Milestones.
How does it work?
Project Managers can define custom Milestones, represented by a blue pyramid, by assigning them to specific folders or sub-folders within CloseOut’s workflow structure. Each will contain one or more individual tasks.
They can also set a planned due date, when the completion of the tasks is expected. Each Milestone is assigned a weight relative to the whole project, displayed in percentages.
Watch our demo video about Project Progress Tracker, it’s main element – Milestones, and how to make the best of it!
How to monitor progress?
First, set up the Project Progress Tracker widget on your custom-made CloseOut dashboard, so it comes in handy whenever you need it.
Our Monitoring view allows you to monitor the progress of your Milestones shown in percentages. This gives Project Managers clear insight into the project’s pace compared to the planned timeline.
How to complete a Milestone?
Once set, all tasks associated with a Milestone must be completed before their due date turns green, signifying success, and for the Milestone to be considered achieved. Meanwhile, PMs can monitor task due dates and track progress with precision.
Upon task completion, a Quality Expert reviews the related documents and reports, granting the Milestone a green status once all criteria are met, bringing the project closer to finalization.
This means the Milestone is achieved, and the associated percentage contributes towards the completion of the project.
