Purpose: Project Status and Project Health choices and definitions
|
| Intended Audience: TeamDynamix Project Managers |
| Environment: TeamDynamix Projects |
Project Health
Green: Project is on track (project is meeting defined objectives in scope, on schedule, and on budget).
Yellow: Project is at risk, but corrective actions have been identified.
Red: Project is at risk, no corrective actions yet identified.
No Status: This may only be used when the project is not yet in process (see below).
Project Status
New (Not Started): for any approved project in the pipeline, but not yet started.
- At this stage you may be gathering high-level requirements but there is no planning of any significance underway.
- The project has been approved through the normal request process (if applicable) and is simply being added to the queue.
In Process: A project belongs in this status once work begins.
- Project work includes scheduling, identifying the project team and/or resources, developing KPIs, and naturally any implementation and execution.
- A project will remain in this status until Completed, Cancelled, or put On Hold.
- When a project is in process, Project Health should be Red, Yellow, or Green.
On Hold: Use for a project that you want/expect to complete, on which work has paused.
- There aren't any backend features triggered when a project is placed "On-Hold". It is simply a status and visual indicator that the project is "paused".
- The project is still active and any resources on the project are still scheduled, meaning the project still impacts resource availability.
- Resources can still log time/expenses against an on-hold project and still work tasks, issues, etc.
Completed or Cancelled: These project status indicators are only available when Closing a project.
