ONE PROJECT

Project Summary

Open a project’s Summary tab for status, schedule and completion information, task distributions, and participation. Review the underlying tasks and schedule when you need details.

ACROSS PROJECTS

Organization dashboards

Analyze status, schedule adherence, completion, projects by manager, and completed-project trends. Review the whole organization or filter the projects for your analysis.

Project Summary and portfolio dashboards are available on the free plan. Starbrix Core is free forever for teams of up to three members.

PROJECT SUMMARY

See progress, tasks, and people in one place.

Open the project’s Summary tab for an overview based on the same project and task information used in everyday work.

Progress and schedule

Review project status, planned dates, schedule completion, manual completion, and task-based completion.

Task situation

See task status distribution, completed and open tasks, and on-time and overdue tasks.

People and participation

Review the project manager, participants, and resource participation in tasks.

Three completion measures, three questions.
Schedule completion concerns progress through the planned schedule. Manual completion is the project manager’s assessment of work done. Task-based completion is calculated from task completion information.

Read these measures together. Time elapsed and work completed describe different aspects of the project.

PORTFOLIO DASHBOARDS

Read the wider project picture.

Analyze ongoing, upcoming, and completed projects across the organization.

Project status

See how projects are distributed across workflow stages.

Schedule adherence

Review how projects are keeping to their schedules.

Manual completion

See the distribution of managers’ completion assessments.

Task-based completion

See completion levels based on project task information.

Projects by manager

Review the distribution of projects between project managers.

Completed projects over time

Follow completed-project trends alongside current work.

Use current projects for ongoing follow-up and completed projects to understand past delivery activity.

CHOOSE YOUR PROJECT SELECTION

Analyze the whole organization—or focus your review.

Filter the portfolio by Workspace, Customer, or Member to analyze a relevant selection of projects.

Workspace

Air-source heat pumps

Review the projects selected for this project group. A team Workspace, such as Documentation team, offers another focused selection.

Customer

Example customer

Review projects related to one customer when preparing a customer follow-up.

Member

Example team member

Analyze projects involving a particular member of the organization.

The names above illustrate possible selections. The dashboard uses the project information in Starbrix Core.

TWO COMPLETION MEASURES

Compare the assessment with task progress.

Manual completion

The project manager enters an overall completion percentage. The assessment can take account of work that is not fully represented in the task structure.

Task-based completion

Starbrix Core calculates completion from the completion information maintained for the project’s tasks.

SIMPLIFIED EXAMPLE · CUSTOMER DELIVERY

Manual completion75%

Task-based completion70%

The manager assesses the project as 75% complete, while task-based completion is 70%. Review task updates and remaining work to understand the difference.

A difference does not automatically indicate a problem. Both measures depend on the information maintained in the project.

Tasks can also have manually entered completion percentages, maintained independently of their subtasks.

A CLOSER LOOK · COMPLETION DISTRIBUTIONS

See how completion is distributed across projects.

The organization dashboard has separate charts for manual and task-based completion. Both group projects into the same six completion ranges and show the number and proportion in each range.

EXAMPLE DATA · 20 PROJECTS IN EACH CHART

Manual completion levels across projects

20 example projects · Count and share in each range

0%2 projects · 10%

1–20%3 projects · 15%

21–40%4 projects · 20%

41–60%5 projects · 25%

61–80%4 projects · 20%

81–100%2 projects · 10%

Task-based completion levels across projects

20 example projects · Count and share in each range

0%3 projects · 15%

1–20%4 projects · 20%

21–40%4 projects · 20%

41–60%4 projects · 20%

61–80%3 projects · 15%

81–100%2 projects · 10%

Simplified charts with example values. They show distributions across projects; they do not identify which individual projects have differences between manual and task-based completion.

For example, 4 projects in the 61–80% range means four projects each fall within that range. It does not mean the portfolio is 61–80% complete.

READ THE FIGURES IN CONTEXT

Completion is one part of the picture.

Status

The workflow stage, such as Planning or Testing. Project status options can vary by project type.

Completion

How much work is reported or calculated as complete. A high percentage alone does not guarantee delivery on time.

State

A person’s manual assessment of the overall situation, shown with a green, yellow, or red smiley.

Dates and schedule

Review planned and actual dates, remaining tasks, and dependencies alongside completion.

Use the information to follow up.

ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

What is project progress tracking software?

It helps teams monitor work, compare progress with plans, and identify projects that need attention. Starbrix Core connects completion, task progress, schedules, and overall project state with project and portfolio views.

How do manual and task-based completion differ?

Manual completion is the project manager’s assessment of overall progress. Task-based completion is calculated from the completion information maintained for the project’s tasks.

What information does the project Summary include?

The Summary includes project status, schedule and planned dates, schedule completion, manual and task-based completion, task status distribution, completed and open tasks, on-time and overdue tasks, project managers and participants, and resource participation in tasks.

How do project status and project state differ?

Status describes the workflow stage, such as Planning or Testing. State is a manual assessment of the overall situation, shown with a green happy, yellow neutral, or red sad smiley.

Can I follow whether a project is behind schedule?

Review completion alongside planned and actual dates, remaining tasks, and dependencies to assess whether the work is keeping pace with the schedule.

Can I filter dashboards by Workspace, customer, or member?

Yes. Analyze projects across the organization or narrow the portfolio by Workspace, Customer, or Member to focus on the projects relevant to your review.

Can I analyze completed projects?

Yes. Portfolio dashboards can include ongoing, upcoming, and completed projects. Completed-project trends help you review past delivery activity alongside current work.
