Product Release Date: February 3, 2025
What's New
We are excited to introduce a significant enhancement to our Full Schedule Tracking capabilities, designed to provide even greater visibility and control over your project timelines. Previously, our tracking features focused on monitoring progress and momentum compared to only the baseline completion dates. With this update, we are expanding that functionality to include Baseline Start Dates, allowing you to track project initiation just as effectively as project completion.
These improvements ensure that you and your team have a comprehensive understanding of when work is expected to begin, enabling better planning, coordination, and proactive management of potential delays.
With this update, you now have the ability to add and edit Baseline Start Dates at multiple levels, providing a granular view of your project timelines:
Overall for a project
For individual trades on a project
For individual locations on a project (by floor plan, floor level, phase, or building)
For a specific trade at a specific location on a project (by floor plan, floor level, phase, or building)
To provide a clear and actionable view of project progress, Baseline Start Dates will now be seamlessly integrated into progress graphs across all progress and momentum drawers.
Key Benefits
→ Greater Visibility into Project Progress
Quickly and easily determine whether work has begun as scheduled at every level—whether at the project level, trade level, location level, or for specific trades at designated locations. This enhanced visibility helps you and your team stay informed about the status of work across all aspects of your project.
→ Early Identification of Bottlenecks and Delays
Proactively detect potential bottlenecks and delays before they escalate into larger scheduling issues. This enables project managers, site supervisors, and other stakeholders to take corrective action early in the process, ensuring that subsequent work remains on schedule and minimizing disruptions to overall project timelines.
→ Improved Team Transparency and Collaboration
All project stakeholders—whether in the field or in the office—have a centralized and consistent view of start dates, progress, risks, and potential delays. This fosters better communication, alignment, and decision-making across teams, ensuring that everyone is working from the same set of accurate and up-to-date project data.
