Take a project live
In this step, you will learn how to take your project live by changing its status to 'current.' Before doing so, you will review key project elements such as task names, durations, planned hours, predecessors, start and completion dates, and assignments to ensure everything is accurate and properly set. Once the project is live, you will receive notifications based on global and personal settings, and the project will appear in reports and filters for active projects, marking the official start of the work.
