Every week, we must validate that the team member progress updates are applied to ensure that the schedule reflects work completed to date as well as validate the estimate for the remaining work to complete each task. Then, we need to review the schedule and take appropriate corrective actions to resolve any schedule slippage due to the progress updates from the team members.

Important: Depending on the execution tool that is linked to your project in Project IQ, refer to any of these external resources to update your project schedule:

To update the schedule using Sensei IQ’s native scheduling tool:

1. Track task progress

1. Mark tasks as complete by clicking in the circle, in any view: Board, or Timeline. 
   
   
2. Drag and drop a task to the Completed column in the Board/Progress view.
   
   
3. Ensure the % complete column is visible in the Timeline view and enter the updated % complete directly in the column.
   
   
4. In any view, click the “i” icon to open the task details pane and enter the updated status in the % complete field.
   
   
5. Ensure the Effort completed, and Effort remaining columns are visible in the Timeline view and enter the updated actual and remaining effort directly in the columns.
   
   
   Important: Updating Effort completed will automatically update Effort remaining based on the total Effort for the task. Updating Effort remaining will automatically update the total Effort.
