Programme

What this is

The Programme section tracks a project's key dates and milestones — planned, forecast, and actual — for each contract.

Who can use it

Super Admin and Admin manage milestones. Client users can view them.

Where to find it

Project → Programme.

What you will see

  • A health summary: an overall status (On Track, Due soon, At risk, Delayed, or No Programme Data) and counts of Total, Complete, Overdue, Due soon, At risk, and AI-generated milestones.
  • The next critical milestone, with a days-remaining indicator.
  • A Table view and a Timeline view (a Gantt-style chart), switchable at the top of the page.
  • Status filter chips: All, Not started, In progress, Complete, Delayed, At risk.

Table view

Each milestone shows: name (with an AI icon and expandable source text if it was extracted by AI), type, responsible party (Contractor, Employer, or Both), planned date range, forecast date, actual date, variance in days, and status (with a progress percentage where applicable).

Timeline view

A chart with a "Today" marker, showing planned dates (hollow circles, red-ringed if overdue), forecast dates (amber diamonds), and actual dates (filled green circles), with a dashed line connecting planned and forecast dates where they differ ("date slip").

Adding milestones

  • Manually: use Add/Edit Milestone — choose the contract, milestone name, type (Commencement, Sectional Completion, Completion, Handover, Obligation, Milestone, Other), responsible party, status, planned/forecast/actual dates, and notes.
  • From AI analysis: use Seed from AI to create milestones from a contract's confirmed AI analysis. For projects with more than one contract, choose which contract's analysis to seed from. This only works once an analysis has been confirmed — if none exists, SureSign tells you so.

What other modules this affects

  • Milestones and their dates appear on the project Calendar.
  • Overdue and at-risk milestones can relate to Delay Events.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Only reading the Table view and missing the visual "slip" between planned and forecast dates that the Timeline view shows clearly.
  • Re-seeding from AI analysis without checking whether it will duplicate milestones already added manually — review the result after seeding.
