Lesson Six Basic Stage Progression

Well, here we are! We have made it to our final lesson in our Stage Progression functionality: Stage Progression with Scope Creep Validation, Change Request & Project Closure.

In this lesson we are going to add a simplified project close process that, once all phases have been completed, asks the project manager to provide project closure details and marks the project as completed. So, our business need, for this lesson, now looks like this:

I need a controlled method to progress projects through all phases of a project management lifecycle where the phase selections are dependent on the project type. The current phase should be highlighted within the full project lifecycle and displayed on a project panel for ease of navigation. As the project progresses through each phase, the project manager should indicate if there was any scope creep identified in the previous phase and have the option to add a new Change Request case to the project container. If the project is in the final phase, the next action should be to mark the project as completed and capture the Actual End Date.

We are expanding our configuration from lessons 1-5 so please make sure you have completed the full course up to this point prior to proceeding.
