Read assignment pace and calendar

Use Timeline to answer two different questions without blending them: where teams or students are in the project structure, and where the plan sits on actual calendar dates.

Timeline separates work pace from calendar dates. The pace strip shows where teams are in the project structure; the calendar shows when the plan expects each milestone. Select the image to enlarge it.

Read progress against the plan

The pace strip places the plan’s current point beside counts for not started, working, and submitted work. These are structural states across the project arc; they are not calendar dates or grades.

Select a pace count to reveal the names behind it.

Select a pace count to reveal the teams or students behind it. The names are actionable evidence; the count alone is only a summary. Select the image to enlarge it.

Use the list to decide who needs a closer look. A count is a summary; the named team or student is the actionable evidence.

Read the calendar

The week grid shows planned milestone spans and submission waypoints on their actual dates. Select a waypoint to see who submitted which milestone that day.

Select a submission waypoint to see who submitted what on that date. The day detail preserves the calendar context around the event. Select the image to enlarge it.

The day detail remains inside the surrounding calendar, so a submission is not mistaken for the plan’s current boundary.

Keep the signals separate

• Pace describes progress through the project structure.
• Calendar describes when the plan and recorded events occur.
• Overview describes current work state by team or milestone.
• Submissions is where you review the evidence itself.

When the calendar plan needs to change, use the milestone edge or Adjust dates. Rectangle will preview the downstream schedule before applying it.
