About This Automation

Development project tracking pulls site progress, subcontractor notes, and budget actuals into a shared milestone tracker before a narrative update goes to investors and partners. Doing this by hand across multiple projects means stale trackers, slow updates, and sign-offs that stall in email.

The automated version reconciles field and cost data, flags delays, and drafts the stakeholder update from current numbers. Milestone confirmations route for signature and file automatically, keeping records accurate without manual chasing.

Key features
Aggregates site progress and cost data from field management tools automatically
Reconciles milestone tracker entries against budget actuals in real time
Flags delayed milestones and creates follow-up tasks without manual entry
Drafts stakeholder status updates from reconciled project data
Routes milestone confirmations for e-signature and files countersigned documents automatically

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Weekly Data Synctrigger

Every Monday morning, updated site progress and budget actuals are pulled automatically.

2. Milestone Data Aggregator Runs

The automation reconciles data against the milestone tracker and flags any budget variance.

3. Update Milestone Tracker In Excel

Reconciled figures are written directly into the shared Excel tracker with no manual re-entry.

4. Status Report Drafting Drafts Update

A stakeholder-ready status update is drafted and delayed milestones are logged.

5. Post Draft For Review

The draft is posted to the project manager's channel for a quick approve or request-changes decision.

6. Manual Revision By Project Manager

If changes are requested, the project manager edits the draft directly before it proceeds.

7. Sign-Off & Filing Sends For Signature

Once approved, the automation sends the milestone confirmation for e-signature.

8. File Signed Document

The countersigned document is filed automatically and the project record is marked complete.
