Update Statuses in a Project
Project Analyzer provides the ability for project managers, principals in charge, and other qualified users to track the status of multiple project components.
Use the statuses to track the approval process, enhance project analysis, and provide project reporting for each project status. Project Analyzer tracks the current status as well as recent changes.
For each work plan, there are three status types in Project Analyzer:
- Schedule Status - Track this status in the Schedule tab.
- Plan Status - Track this status in the Tasks and Team tabs.
- Budget Status -Track this status in the Contract / Fees, Non-Reimb Consultants, and the Non-Reimb Expenses tabs.
