Keep your content production on track

Track your content creation progress

To enhance your ongoing strategy and progress, you’d need to track multiple collections and tasks. It’s also crucial to check the state of your content items, their deadlines, and which content items need an update after a certain period. Plus, ensuring smooth team collaboration is another important aspect. You can get an overview of these aspects in Mission Control. Your work gives you a personal view of what needs to be done. You can check the tasks that you’ve delegated or been assigned. If you’re a contributor or have made any recent edits, you can also find a list of content items here. With the dashboard, you gain insights on:

• Your content’s progress based on the due dates.
• The timeliness of the tasks completed.
• The rate of items published on time.
• Tasks you’ve created and assigned.
• Overdue tasks to identify potential bottlenecks.
• The number of items that need a refresh after a certain period.

With content status, you get an overview on:

• Observing content in various languages
• Evaluating tasks and unresolved comments
• Examining the workflows your items are in
• Ensuring timely delivery by tracking due dates
• Overseeing your team’s engagement with the content items

With content pace, you can track how much time your content items spend in each workflow step to: 

• Proactively identify potential obstacles to your project outcomes.
• Gauge the value of time spent on specific content types and items.
• Optimize productivity by measuring effort against results on your content types.
• Recognize and rectify bottlenecks in your workflows.

Glance at your plan with project overview

You have your goals in sight, content schedules in place, and a plan to stick to. Mission Control’s 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. The Workflow step overview works in a similar manner. Clicking 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 and managing, you can’t afford to miss any updates and progress on your content. To avoid missing out on content items not being shown in the project overview and insights in Mission Control, 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 and in the dashboard. 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.
