Readying & Reviewing

Who can use this feature?

Task Owners can make their part of the plan Ready


Reviewers and Admins can approve plans on behalf of other Task Owners.

Before a plan is published, you can mark your part as Ready to signal it’s up to date and good to go. Even if you don’t mark it as ready, your tasks will still be included in the published version.

Unresolved Issues


If you own Tasks in the lookahead period, it's your responsibility to make sure they're accurate, up to date and don't have any outstanding Unresolved Issue. This means Task Owners need to be mitigating any Clashes, adding Missing Data and resolving any Overdue Blockers.

To see unresolved issues in your Plan:

  • Click your Publishing Deadline in the top right of the page

  • This will open the Make Ready Window

  • You'll see a count of all your Clashes, Missing Data and Overdue Blockers

  • Click any of the counts to open the relevant panel and start resolving issues
