Which project Condition is set when the Progress Status of the project is Behind or At Risk?

In Adobe Workfront, the project's 'Condition' reflects its overall health, while the 'Progress Status' measures its timeliness against the planned completion date. Workfront can be configured to automatically update the Condition based on the Progress Status. When a project's Progress Status becomes 'At Risk' (projected to finish after the planned date) or 'Behind' (projected to finish significantly after the planned date), the system automatically sets the project's Condition to 'At Risk'. This serves as an early warning indicator to stakeholders that the project requires attention to prevent further delays.

A. Late: "Late" is a value for the 'Progress Status' field, indicating the project's planned completion date has passed, not a value for the 'Condition' field.

C. In Trouble: The "In Trouble" condition typically represents a more severe state of project health and is usually set manually by a project manager rather than being the default automatic condition for a 'Behind' or 'At Risk' status.
