How to Provide a Status Update:
*Project Leads receive an email reminder every other week to provide a status update with the link to update your project. All status updates are sent via email to Project Lead(s), Technical Lead(s), Project Sponsor, and Collaborators listed under the "Data" tab, and updates appear on various DoIT Portfolio dashboards for stakeholders.
Navigate to the Active DoIT Projects - Project Leads view. When you receive the reminder email to provide a status update, the link will direct you here. You can also use the short link: umbc.edu/go/smartsheet-doitprojects
Click anywhere in the row of the project you wish to provide a status update for.
A “Details” tab will open on the right side of the page to the “Comments” tab.
You will see the comment history of other status updates. Click “Add a Comment” at the bottom of the Details tab to type your update.
Please date your update at the front of your comment so it displays easily on the leadership dashboards. Your name will be attached automatically.You can also adjust the status of your project by selecting the “Data” tab and selecting a new status from the dropdown options. Status Definitions can be found here.
