What are projects, stages and deliverables?

Understand how Cognibuild organises work using a structured project workflow.

Cognibuild structures your work into projects, stages, and key deliverables.

  • Projects contain all your work

  • Stages break the project into phases

  • Key Deliverables are the documents you create

  • Tasks are used to build each deliverable

Supporting documentation sits alongside this structure, providing context for generating outputs.


Projects

A project represents a real-world development or construction project.

All supporting documents and deliverables are organised within a single workspace, keeping everything connected and easy to manage.


Stages

Projects are divided into stages that represent different phases of the project lifecycle.

Each stage can contain the key deliverables required for that phase. This is up to the user how they want to build their stages and what key deliverables they wish to select.

For example:

  • Early stages may focus on feasibility or design

  • Later stages may include strategies, reports, or planning documentation

Stages help teams organise work and track progress across the project.


Key Deliverables

Key Deliverables are structured documents created within each stage.

Examples include:

  • Project briefs

  • Client requirements

  • Strategies

  • Reports

  • Planning documentation

Within a key deliverable, users run tasks to generate and refine content. Deliverables can then be reviewed, edited, and approved.


Supporting documentation

Supporting documents provide the context used to generate outputs.

These may include reports, studies, project briefs, and other relevant materials.

Documents are stored at the project level and can be assigned to deliverables when needed.


Tracking progress

Cognibuild allows teams to track progress across stages.

  • Deliverables can be reviewed and approved

  • Approved deliverables indicate completed work

  • Once all deliverables in a stage are complete, the stage can be signed off
