Automatically Add Tasks and Schedule Items with Workflows
By automatically adding tasks and planning items to phases, you ensure that nothing is overlooked and everyone knows exactly what needs to be done.
Altura's workflow functionality allows you to set default tasks and schedule items that automatically appear as soon as a project is moved to a particular swimlane. For example, tasks relevant to the Go/No-Go automatically show up in the project when you move it into the Go/No-Go column. When you move the project to the next phase, such as Qualification, specific qualification tasks and items are added.
