Celoxis provides visual, traffic signal like indicators to inform the task assignees and the project managers of the current status of the tasks.
Signal | When |
---|---|
OnTrack | A task is On Time if its Projected Finish is before or on its finish date. [ Projected Finish <= Finish date ] |
At Risk | Task is not expected to be completed by the deadline based on its % complete so far. [ Projected Finish > Finish date AND Present Date < Finish date ] |
Off Track | Task has not been completed by the finish date. [ Task is not 100% complete AND Present date > Finish date ] |
Blocked | The task was supposed to start but could not because of its incomplete predecessors. |
Future | The task has not yet started, and the task date is in Future. |

On Track | Actual cost is less than or equal to the budget [ Actual Cost <= Budget OR Cost (Est) if Budget is not specified] |
At Risk | Actual cost has exceeded the budget. [ Actual Cost > Budget AND Actual Cost < Budget OR Cost (Est) if Budget is not specified ] |
