Managing a project and keeping content creation on schedule requires meticulous attention. From meeting tight deadlines to timely reviews, there’s no room for error. That’s where the project overview comes in handy. Project overview provides a visual snapshot of your project’s planning status, which further empowers you to track progress and ensure you’re staying on target effortlessly.
Glance at your plan with project overview
You have your goals in sight, content schedules in place, and a plan to stick to. The project overview is the best place to make all these assessments to oversee your content plan’s progress.The project overview is a helpful companion that provides statistics on your status’ plannings. These statuses are broken down into three categories:
On track – indicates that the content items are in progress before the specified due dates.
Delayed – reflects the status of your content items past their due date for publishing.
Scheduled to publish – shows the content items you plan to publish at a specific date.
Along with these categories, you can see the overview of the workflows your content items are in.With a quick glance, you can easily spot delays or items scheduled for publishing, enabling you to assess the progress of your content creation plan more effectively.
Let's get comprehensive
You're probably thinking that these quantifications of your project status provide just a big picture – there must be more context to it. You can get a comprehensive look at your content items' status by clicking any of the tile categories – On track, Delayed, or Scheduled to publish.For instance, let’s check out the Delayed tile, which presents information regarding content items past their due dates and when they were last updated. From this information, you can strategize further on mitigating these delays according to your plan.Similarly, the Workflow step overview works in a similar manner. Clicking on a specific workflow step, whether from the graph or below it, grants you access to additional information. If you’re looking to check out items that are approved for publishing, click on the Approved step.
Add due dates to track updates
While being meticulous in your planning, you can't afford to miss any updates on your content. To avoid missing out on content items not being shown in the project overview, always add a due date first. Setting due dates allows you to stay aware of any items running behind schedule – the items past their due dates to be published will show up in the Delayed tile.Kontent.ai also helps you easily track content items with missing due dates so that you don’t need to search for every content item manually.

You can select specific criteria to filter your search, and even save the filters if you tend to use them frequently. And the best part? You can use the saved filters in the editorial calendar and in Content & assets.
