The Progress Tracker allows you to add and monitor two different types of activities: assessments and decisions.
As shown in the following example image of the Progress Tracker, there are two types of decisions: decision records and decision gates.
Decision records
Decision records allow you to capture any pertinent information regarding the decisions you and other stakeholders make about the AI use case.
You can add as many decision records as you want. They are created with the status Completed, and the status doesn't evolve.
Decision records are not carried forward when the AI use case status evolves. You can always use the stage stepper tabs in the Progress Tracker to go back and revisit the decision records you and others created in an earlier lifecycle stage.
You can edit the decision records that you have added, but not those that others have added.
Decision gates
Decision gates capture the decision details specifically when stakeholders decide to change the AI use case from one lifecycle stage to another, for example from Ideation to Development, or vice versa.
A decision gate is triggered when you click Move to <stage> in the Progress Tracker. The Move to <stage> dialog box prompts you to describe the decisions and justification for advancing or regressing the stage of the AI use case, for example stakeholder decisions, recommendations from Legal, or committee meeting minutes.
Decision gates are not carried forward when the AI use case status evolves. You can always use the stage stepper tabs to go back and revisit the decision gate details in an earlier lifecycle stage.
You can edit the decision gate details that you have provided, but not those that others have provided.
