Tracking critical path

Tracking is the ability to track the progress of development for a style. This is done by adding a critical path to a style. On a high level, the critical path includes these features:

• Critical path

  You can create a critical path using milestones, activity lists, and activity. The tasks include information on proposed ownership role, lead time, workload, or the ION workflow associated with the task. Once the critical path is created, the due dates are defined on the milestones, and the application calculates backwards to set the tasks' begin and end date and time. The critical path on its own can be connected as a template to a style for further follow up.

• Style follow up tasks progress
  • Shows all milestones and tasks for a style (retrieved from critical path). The tasks are showing the progress not started, in progress or completed, start, end date milestone due date, and owner of the task.
  • The progress status of a task can be set manually or by ION workflow. You can change dates and a comment to why the change was required.
• Monitoring progress
  • Style Grid list view in column “at risk” shows the quick progress at a style level if there are "late" tasks which are not completed.
  • Workspace widgets PLM for Fashion Task Monitor enable you to see your to do’s or too late tasks, which are configurable.
  • Workspace widget critical path shows the graphical progress at milestone level for those styles with the same critical path. With a simple drill down on milestone, you can see all the styles included and you can also drill from that location.
