Automated At-Risk Training Project Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens Cognota, reviews each active course project's remaining tasks against its launch date, calculates which projects are trending late, and posts an at-risk alert to Microsoft Teams with the reason each project is slipping so leads can intervene early.
How do I catch training projects that are about to miss their launch date?
WebRun checks every active Cognota course project each morning, comparing remaining tasks and review cycles against the launch date to find projects trending late. It posts an at-risk digest to Microsoft Teams naming each slipping project, its owner, and the reason, sorted by nearest launch, so leads can intervene days before a deadline is actually missed.
- Slipping projects surface days before the launch date, not after
- Leads see why a project is at risk, not just that it is late
- Recovered projects clear the list automatically each morning

Questions, answered
Does it change project dates or tasks in Cognota?
No. It only reads project timelines and posts an alert to Microsoft Teams. Any change to a launch date, scope, or assignment stays a human decision your lead makes in Cognota.
How does it decide a project is at risk?
It compares each project's remaining open tasks and review cycles against the days left until launch, and flags any project where the work outpaces the time or a milestone is already overdue.
Will a recovered project keep showing as at risk?
No. It recalculates every morning from the live project state, so a project that got back on track drops off the alert and the list reflects only current risk.
