Design Progress Tracking
Derive objective progress data directly from design deliverables. Eliminate optimism bias and align CDE outputs to your work breakdown structure.
Is your progress reporting only as reliable as your team leads' estimates?
Progress tracking shouldn't require chasing designers for subjective updates. But when your document naming conventions don't align to your work breakdown structure, there's no automated path from deliverables to progress. Your schedulers spend weeks gathering updates prone to optimism bias, while attempts at rules-based automation founder on metadata mismatches. The data feeding your project decisions is neither timely nor objective.

Deliverable-to-WBS Mapping
Analyse each design deliverable and apply probabilistic matching to your work breakdown structure. Bridge the gap between CDE naming conventions and programme structures, creating the keywise pairing needed for meaningful progress roll-ups - even when metadata doesn't align perfectly.
Multi-Structure Alignment
Map deliverables to WBS, OBS, and CBS hierarchies simultaneously. Generate progress views that align to how your schedulers, design managers, and commercial teams each need to see the data - from a single source of truth.
Inductive Progress Reasoning
Derive progress from signals within deliverable metadata rather than waiting for manual updates. Query whether reviewers have been assigned, check dates have been set, verify approval workflows are complete, drawing answers from deliverable content to shine new light on work status.
Objective Progress Derivation
Calculate progress from what's actually been delivered, not what people say has been done. Remove optimism bias from reporting by grounding progress metrics in verifiable deliverable status rather than subjective estimates.
What this achieves
When progress data flows automatically from your CDE, your schedulers shift from data collectors to analysts. Increase reporting frequency without increasing workload - move from monthly to fortnightly cycles and catch slippage earlier. Make programme decisions based on objective evidence. And free your design teams to focus on designing, not filling in progress spreadsheets.
