Calendar Behavior & Indicators

Projects in Motion integrate directly with the calendar so tasks, stages, and blockers are visible in real time. The calendar reflects both scheduling logic and project health through clear visual indicators.

Behavior

• Tasks placement → Project tasks are scheduled into available time slots according to their priority, deadline, and stage.

• Events override tasks → Meetings and external events always take precedence; tasks shift around them.

• Blockers on the calendar → Blocked tasks are held back and show a blocker icon, preventing premature scheduling.

• Stage deadlines → If a stage has a deadline, tasks within it show urgency markers when risk of slippage increases.

• All-day indicators → All-day project deadlines or blockers appear at the top of the calendar view.

Visual indicators

• Green checkmark → Task or milestone completed.

• Yellow exclamation → Stage at risk or deadline approaching.

• Red exclamation → Missed task deadline or overdue blocker.

• Blocker icon → Task cannot progress until dependency is resolved.

• Blue progress bar/rocket → Stage or project ahead of schedule.

Why it matters The calendar view is more than a schedule — it’s a real-time project health dashboard. Tasks flex with availability, while indicators highlight risks, blockers, and progress so you can act before deadlines slip.
