The job of this console
Create and sequence tasks, assign, then drill into work items for hours and micro-status. Do not invent a parallel ‘deliverable’ spreadsheet.
Project · Delivery Units
Deliverables
Manage project deliverables (tasks) before drilling into granular work items.
Deliverable register for a project with status tracking, assignment, and estimate comparisons.
Delivery units
Tasks on a project — before the finer work items
Deliverables are project tasks: the delivery units you manage before drilling into granular work items. In Tracopus, deliverable means Task unless a separate Deliverable model exists — it does not.

Seat at the table
The project team. Resource managers care about assignment load on capacity, not this list alone.
The working rhythm
Open a project’s deliverables, add or edit a task, then open work items or the board. Timesheet rows should point at this work.
Moments that bring you here
Scope breakdown. A missed task blocking a milestone. After a PO change. When someone says WBS — start here.
ⓘ
Deliverable = Task
Naming in UI may say deliverable; the source is Task. Work items are TaskActivity.

Common mistakes
⚠️
Zero estimate on deliverable
Est vs Actual report shows 100% variance — set estimate at create.
⚠️
Flat list ignoring hierarchy
Parent/child structure affects rollup — use tree view when available.
⚠️
Past due without status update
Timeline health chart lies — mark blocked or extend date.
FAQ
Deliverable vs work item?
Deliverable = milestone; work item = task/activity executing the work.
Can one deliverable span projects?
No — each belongs to one project; link related items via notes.
How do actual hours arrive?
Timesheet entries tagged to deliverable on billable rows.
Default statuses?
Org-configured — typical: not started, in progress, complete.
Workflows
- Create or open deliverable.
- Assign owner and due dates.
- Track status changes and estimate variance.
- Open Work Items for detailed execution.
Tips & best practices
Tip: Keep deliverable estimates updated — downstream utilization and planner analytics depend on them.
