Output tracking view in MERIT

Grant Managers currently have independent locally developed tracking sheets  
(excel and access) which they use to track implementation against outputs. A 
relatively minor change to the system would facilitate the creation of a view 
of the MERIT data that would save significant time and effort for Grant 
Managers and would eliminate the need for them to operate shadow systems. It 
would also be of value to grantees in tracking the implementation of outputs 
against contracted outputs on a stage-by-stage basis.

This would require planned (target) outputs to be set on an 
activity-by-activity basis rather than at the whole project level as is 
currently that case. Changing this would require consultation with stakeholders.

The new view would then be a matrix of activities (with target outputs) on the 
Y-axis vs. a stage-based timeline on the X-axis, showing the target and 
implemented values within each stage - eg. using progress bars similar to those 
in the project dashboard. An aggregated stage-based summary by activity type 
may also be relevant where there is more than one activity of the same type 
within a stage.
