labelSummary
  • Project managers should use this process to provide project updates at regular intervals including the current project status, estimate at Completion, a current photo and schedule notes.
  • The project manager will be asked to enter their name as part of the update. This simulates signing the update.
  • The PM submitted date will be filled in when the Submit step is taken.
  • This process has been updated in two significant ways.
  1. The process will start (spawn) a new process for your next update whenever the project status is something other than "Complete". Use the automatically started process located "In your Court" for subsequent updates.
  2. By using the automatically started process your most recent update will display on the left side of the page while you complete the current update on the right side. (See the Start Step instructions)
