Marking elements as complete helps you track progress and visualize project outcomes across your Scorecards.
When you mark an Initiative, Milestone, or Action Item as complete, ClearPoint records the completion date automatically and carries forward relevant update fields such as Status, Percent Complete, and Analysis into future reporting periods.
