Business Goal Lifecycle

Program Central users who are employees of the host company can view the lifecycle for a business goal.

The Business Goal lifecycle includes these states:

Created

Only host company employees who are assigned the Business Manager role can create business goals. When a goal is created, its state is Created. This is the only state during which subgoals can be added and the goal can be deleted.

Active

When an assigned project is promoted to the Active state, the business goal is automatically promoted to Active. Alternatively, the Business Manager can promote the goal to Active manually.

Complete

When the last assigned project is promoted to the Complete state, the application automatically promotes the business goal to Complete. Business goals in the Complete state cannot be edited but if they need to be revised, Business Managers can demote them back to Active.
