However, if there’s no clear structure or agreed approach to the project, it can be frustrating and time-consuming instead. Enter the Research Milestone Tracker: the app that helps you break down tasks and build a plan to stay on track. Here’s how to use it in managing your research projects from A to Z, and deliver each project on time.** Regular alignment and a transparent view on progress in your research projects help your team to set realistic expectations for themselves and co-workers, making it easier to achieve goals on time and within budget. ## Do you want to have all your project milestones right on track? [Book a free demo!](https://www.flexso.com/en/contact) ## Keep a clear overview The Research Milestone Tracker makes it easy to **follow up** on your research projects. The milestones are displayed in a clear and comprehensible overview, detailing who’s responsible, the due date, next actions and so on. Never lose track again! ## Push transparency and clear workflows Create a logical order for completing different project tasks. The Research Milestone Tracker either automatically adds new milestones based on entered project data or lets the user add them manually. Master data, such as a new project, milestone types and deadlines, can all be added or changed by the user. You can even add comments, facilitating easier collaboration. By assigning a responsible user and automatically sending them alerts, you make sure that all milestones are carried out **right on time**. ## Your timekeeper for deadlines and funding ![Milestone tracker application](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XzvDUTQRJA4/hqdefault.jpg) Ready to watch? Accept YouTube Cookies to continue Accept Cookies Once a milestone is completed, you can adjust the milestone status with one simple click.

You’ll never lose track of **funds and invoice deadlines** again! ## Simple and easy to use The front end of the Research Milestone Tracker is simple and intuitive. Thanks to the advantages of SAP Fiori-based applications – responsiveness, use on any device and a modern UX – the user is shielded from the underlying complexity of the SAP gateway. No need to be an SAP expert! The Research Milestone Tracker is easily tailored to meet the specific requirements in your research project management. ![Milestone tracker fiori](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27867%27%20height%3D%27%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) ![SAP Store](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27950%27%20height%3D%27%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E)[SAP Store](https://store.sap.com/dcp/en/product/display-0000060293_live_v1/Research%20Milestone%20Tracker)## Flexso has you covered The Research Milestone Tracker app is one of the multiple intelligent extensions that Flexso developed especially for research project management.
