Progress of Process and Process Steps

The progress of a single process step or of the entire process is shown as a percentage in the Manage Processes app and in the process chart. The process
step owner or process owner can use this information to verify whether the process is still on track and to identify potential delays.

The information about the progress complements the information provided by the different statuses in process management. The statuses indicate the
current state of a process, process step, or task. The progress, however, indicates how much of a process step or process has been completed. This means
that it shows how many tasks have been completed since a process step started or how many process steps have been completed since the process started.
For example, you have four process steps in a process. If one of those steps is completed, the progress of the process shows 25%. The progress is
updated each time another task or process step is completed.

The progress is shown in two different places: the progress of the entire process is shown on the entry screen of the Manage Processes app, and the
progress of process steps is shown in the Gantt chart in the Manage Processes app as well as in the process chart.

How is the Progress of a Process Step Calculated?

The way in which the progress of a process step is calculated depends on whether you use a collaboration tool or not.

Systems Using Collaboration

If you use a collaboration tool, the system determines how many of the collaboration tasks for a process step have been completed and how many are
still open and calculates the percentage of completed tasks on this basis. This percentage represents the progress of the process step.

Note

Ad hoc tasks that were created in the Tasks or Manage Tasks app can be included in the progress of the process step. To do that, you need to select the
corresponding checkbox when you create the ad hoc task.

You can change the status of the process step to Completed even if some or all of its tasks are still open, meaning even if its progress is not 100%.

Example

The following graphic shows how the progress of a process step is calculated when collaboration is used.

In your process template, you have two tasks for your first process step. Task 1 is assigned to participant A and participant B, task 2 is assigned to
participant D, participant E, participant F, and participant G.

When the process is created and process step 1 is started, individual collaboration tasks are created for each of the assigned participants. In this example,
a task called “Task 1” is created in the collaboration tool for participant A as well as for participant B. A task called “Task 2” is created in the
collaboration tool for participant D, participant E, participant F, and participant G. There are now six collaboration tasks in total for process step 1.

Let’s assume participant A, participant B, and participant D all complete their collaboration tasks at the same time. Now three out of the six collaboration
tasks for process step 1 are completed. The system calculates the progress of process step 1 accordingly as 50%.

Systems Not Using Collaboration

If you do not use a collaboration tool, the progress of a step is always shown as 0% until it is completed. When a step is completed, its percentage is
shown as 100%. This is because in systems where a no collaboration tool is used, no collaboration tasks are created and assigned to users. Therefore, the
system cannot calculate the percentage of completed tasks. It can only capture if the step is completed or not.

Process Steps Without Tasks

In some processes, you may have process steps that do not have any tasks. In this case, the progress of a process step always shows as 0% if it has not
started yet or if it is in progress. When the step is completed, its percentage is shown as 100%.

How is the Progress of the Entire Process Calculated?

The overall progress of the process is calculated based on the progress of each step. To calculate the progress of the entire process, the system uses the
average of the percentages of all steps in that process. This is independent of whether the system uses a collaboration tool or not.

For an example, refer to Example: Statuses and Progress.
