Check Deliverables Status / Milestone Follow-Up (v8.xx)
Deliverables are one of the project leader’s best tools to check the project’s progress. They summarize the result of several tasks and give the project leader an immediate view of the project's status.
Deliverables can be created directly in the application or from a planning tool. See, "Tasks and plans principles" for more information about deliverables.
The basic life cycle of deliverables could be described as follows:
The project leader must plan the deliverables, possibly link them together, and then follow them up.
The deliverable responsible must ensure that the deliverables are completed within the planned date.
The deliverable approvers must check that the deliverables correspond to what was expected. The project leader and deliverable approver can be one and the same.
This corresponds to the default workflow. The basic life cycle can be modified as needed through the workflow definition.
Several views and reports help you to track deliverable and millstone by status, for instance the view "Deliverables," [Tasks & Plans --> Deliverables] of the "Project" Module.
Or the the chart "Deliverables by status by projects".
To get an overview if a project’s deliverables delivery schedules are aligned with the plan on a monthly basis, use the report view on project overview.
Note: See the "Project Overview" record description to understand the colour codes.
Geniusproject provides a large set of reports to follow-up on deliverables and milestones.
