PROJECT DELIVERY PROCESS
From business outcome to completed work
Create the delivery lifecycle first, place functional modules inside each phase, and then break modules into executable tasks and subtasks. Portfolio and release mappings remain optional.
Execution hierarchy: Project → Phase → Module → Task → Subtask. Sprints, milestones, assignees and dependencies provide additional tracking.
- 1
Create the project
Choose the owning department, participating departments, dates, priority and client profile when it is client work.
- 2
Define outcomes
Add an Epic / Deliverable for each major business outcome, then place Features / Work packages under the relevant epic.
- 3
Plan delivery
Create Sprints / Releases for time-boxed delivery and Milestones for important target dates or approvals.
- 4
Build the delivery structure
Create lifecycle Phases first, then add Modules inside the relevant phase before planning tasks and subtasks.
- 5
Assign the team
Add team leads with Manage or Contribute access and add delivery members for assigned work. A newly assigned member receives a bell notification and email with the project link.
- 6
Delegate scope ownership
The project manager assigns each Module or Feature to an active project member, normally the responsible team lead. Every reassignment requires a reason and is retained in ownership history.
- 7
Break down work
Create Tasks inside the selected Phase and Module, then add Subtasks. Epic, feature, sprint and milestone mappings remain optional.
- 8
Track execution
Maintain status, priority, assignee, activity, dependencies, estimates, due dates, comments and actual time.
- 9
Close with evidence
Complete open child work, review history and progress, then move the project through its controlled lifecycle.

PM → TEAM LEAD → TEAM
Controlled delegation and assignment
The project manager remains accountable for the complete project while team leads control only the delivery scope assigned to them.
- 1
Add the team lead
Open Team and add the DXF team lead with Contribute access for scoped delivery or Manage access when they must manage project membership. The lead receives an in-app alert and email.
- 2
Create the phase
Create the lifecycle stage first—for example Development, Testing or Deployment—and provide its planned dates.
- 3
Create and assign the module
Create User Authentication inside Development, then select the active team lead as Scope owner. A person outside the project team cannot own it.
- 4
Plan team work
The module owner creates Tasks and Subtasks in the owned module and assigns them only to active project members. Each task retains its phase and module context.
- 5
Track and audit delivery
Members update status, activity and time. The project manager monitors progress, blocks and overdue work; administrators review organization-wide detail and ownership history.

GOOD TO KNOW
Access looks different for every person
If a menu or action is missing, your current role or scope does not grant it. Contact an administrator when your responsibilities change.
