Coordinated Project Plan Quarterly Certification (Dashboard Admins only) Coordinated Project Plans (CPP) are to be reviewed or updated on a quarterly basis. To ensure this occurs, the Dashboard contains capabilities for Dashboard Administrators per agency to mark a project’s CPP as reviewed and updated or reviewed and not updated. On the first day of every quarter, an email will be sent from the Dashboard to Dashboard Administrators per agency that contains a link to mark the CPP as reviewed/updated. Once the link from the email is selected, you will be brought to the Pending Tasks tab on the Dashboard site to view all current projects within the agency which you are associated with that need their CPP’s reviewed/updated. Projects on the Pending Tasks tab display per agency. Please mark the projects that are only applicable to you within the agency. Pending Tasks tab Task Response - Responses for your project’s CPP are located under the “Task Response” column Completed Tasks - Once a response is selected, the task will no longer display within the “Pending Tasks” tab and will move to the “Completed Tasks” tab Completed Tasks tab Task Response - Note that under the “Task Response” column, the selection made for the specific project’s CPP from the Pending Tasks tab displays along with the date the response was selected.
