Navigate account plan rosters, filter by status and plan type, evaluate schedule pacing indicators, and manage multi-phase onboarding plans.

Before you start

  • ValueRamp account access (CSM, Admin, or OM role)

The Plans tab (/accounts/[id]/plans) and Plan Detail page (/plans/[id]) form the execution engine of ValueRamp, allowing Customer Success Managers and Onboarding Managers to plan, schedule, and track customer implementations from contract signing through launch and recurring renewals.


The account Plans roster

On any customer account record, navigating to Plans provides a centralized index of all active, draft, and completed plans:

  • Filter bar: Filter plans by Status (Draft, Pending Approval, Active, Closed) and Type (Onboarding, Project, Success plan, Renewal plan, plus the engine-created Reactivation and Offboarding), and sort by soonest or latest go-live. Archived plans are never listed here.
  • Metric strip: Displays high-level phase metrics including total plans, active execution count, overall progress, and overdue tasks.
  • Plan cards: Each card displays the plan title, target go-live date, total task count, lifecycle tag, and real-time completion progress bar.

Anatomy of the Plan Detail page

Clicking any plan card opens the comprehensive Plan Detail view (/plans/[id]):

1. Header and schedule tracking strip

  • Target vs. Tracking dates: Compares the contractual target go-live date against the algorithmically tracked completion date calculated from task durations and dependencies.
  • Schedule indicator:
    • 🟢 Green: The projected end is on or before the target go-live date (or the plan has no target yet).
    • 🟡 Amber: The projected end overruns the target by up to the workspace's amber allowance (5 days by default).
    • 🔴 Red: The projected end overruns the target by more than that.
  • Days left & Overdue count: Tracks remaining execution runway and immediately surfaces delinquent tasks.

2. Lifecycle phases sidebar

Plans are organized chronologically into sequential phases (e.g., Discovery & Design, System Configuration & Settings, System Enablement & Launch Ready, and System Launch):

  • Each phase displays its start date, end date, and completion percentage.
  • Clicking any phase filters the main workspace to display tasks belonging exclusively to that milestone.
  • Team members can sign off on entire phases once exit criteria are verified.

3. Task execution toolbar and views

ValueRamp provides three viewing modes to support different working styles:

  • List view (▤ List): A dense, spreadsheet-style table displaying task names, assigned owners, due dates, statuses, and priority flags.
  • Board view (▥ Board): A visual Kanban board grouping tasks by status — Pending, In Progress, Done, Blocked — with a one-click regroup by owner, priority or phase.
  • Gantt view (▦ Gantt): An interactive timeline chart illustrating task dependencies, critical path items, and scheduling buffers.

Common questions

What is the difference between Schedule status and Account Health?

Schedule status (Green, Amber, or Red) measures whether the plan's final task is on track to complete on or before the target go-live date based on dependency math. Account Health measures customer engagement, product usage, and sentiment. A plan can have a Green schedule while account health is under pressure.

What plan types are supported in ValueRamp?

ValueRamp supports Onboarding, Project, Success plan, Renewal plan, Reactivation, and Offboarding plans. Each plan type drives distinct lifecycle workflows and reporting rollups.

Who can edit a plan once it is published?

Onboarding Managers, assigned CSMs, and Admins can edit plan phases, add tasks, and adjust dates. Customer stakeholders can review, comment on, and approve plans when granted portal access.

Can tasks be viewed in different layouts?

Yes. The plan detail page supports three interactive views: List view for tabular editing, Board view for Kanban-style status tracking, and Gantt view for timeline visualization.
