Multi-stage projects
A multi-stage project is a coordinated set of stages that allows users to achieve specific marketing objectives, such as a product launch. Multi-stage projects are used for complex workflows where time and resource management are important. A multi-stage project consists of a hierarchy representing a sequence of work and related dependencies. Stages can include milestones and each stage is defined in a similar way to a basic project, using any of the following:
In the following example, between the Review and Approval stage and the Localization Stage, a diamond shape identifies a milestone (Content Complete).
Project overview
The Overview tab displays the content used in the project. By clicking a tile, you can open the corresponding details page, which includes the following sections:

Time overview
On the Timeline tab, you can see a list of all the stages in the project, with a progress bar showing the overall project progress. This lets you visualize the different stages and milestones, plus their dependencies, status, start and end dates, and duration. From here, you can add a new stage or milestone, edit the details of each stage, and modify dependencies. If delaying a stage causes the overall project to be delayed, that project is considered to be on a critical path. The critical path is a sequence of stages that must not be delayed if the project is to be delivered on time, and it represents the minimum total duration of the project. In the following example, critical paths are shown in red.
Standard operations are available on project pages and you can use the Content Hub Search to find specific information.
