Tracking Project Progress

Statuses, actions, comments, and key themes.

Last updated April 2026

Once a project is created, you can track its progress through statuses, linked actions, comments, key themes, and meetings.

Using Statuses

Every project has a status that reflects where it currently stands. You can change the status at any time from the project detail page. See Project Statuses for details on each one.

Adding Actions

Actions are the individual tasks that move a project forward. From the project detail page, open the Actions tab and add actions directly. Each action is linked to the project and appears on your main actions list, dashboard widgets, and calendar.

Pro users can click Suggest Actions to get AI-generated follow-up tasks based on the project goal and what has already been done.

Adding Comments

Use the Comments tab to capture updates, decisions, blockers, or anything else that should be recorded against the project. Comments are shown in chronological order and can be edited or deleted.

Linking Key Themes

Key themes help you connect recurring topics to specific projects. From the Key Themes tab, search for and link existing key themes. You can also remove themes that are no longer relevant.

Viewing Meetings

Meetings linked to the project via the meeting note form appear under the Meetings tab. This gives you a chronological record of all meetings related to the initiative.

Timeline

The Timeline tab shows a chronological log of all project activity, including when the project was created, when actions were added or completed, and when comments were posted. This gives you a quick overview of recent progress without switching between tabs.

Review your active projects weekly. Update statuses, add comments about progress, and check that outstanding actions are still relevant. A five-minute weekly check keeps projects moving and prevents stale items from piling up.
