How Nebulas Projects tracks work activities on the board

01

What a growing company gains

With Nebulas Projects, managers and teams see priorities, progress, and deadlines in the same operational context.

The board projects WBS activities into the company workflow columns, showing the status and operational path of each job.

02

How the flow works

Steps

1. The project registry highlights open, closed, and jobs needing attention with health, status, client, and progress.
2. The WBS organizes phases, sub-phases, and activities with ownership, priority, dates, milestones, and hour budgets.
3. The board inherits WBS activities and places them in the company workflow columns.
4. Cards, search, filters, and history show priority, dates, status, and operational path.
5. Timesheets connect logged hours to date, project, and WBS activity.

03

What you need before starting

Prerequisites

• A WBS with phases, sub-phases, and activities already defined with ownership and priority.
• A company workflow with columns representing the operational states of activities.
• Authorized access consistent with client, people, tags, and platform settings.

04

Hypothetical example

A services company has a job with ten WBS activities spread across three phases. The manager opens the board and immediately sees which cards have been stuck in the 'under review' column for several days, filters by high priority and reassigns overdue dates, while the team logs consumed hours in the weekly timesheet linked to the same activity.

05

What to check regularly

• That the cards on the board reflect the current status, priority, and dates of the WBS.
• That the card history shows an operational path consistent with actual progress.
• That the hours in daily, weekly, and monthly timesheets match the assigned WBS activities.
• That the project registry correctly flags jobs needing attention for health or deadline reasons.

How to set it up in Nebulas Projects

The board inherits WBS activities into the company workflow columns, so cards stay aligned with phases, priorities, and milestones.

It's useful to assign clear ownership for each WBS activity and keep tags, client, and job assignments updated, respecting the authorized access set by the platform.
