External Users Can Check Off 'External' Objectives on the Success Plan
CS Success Plans
We launched success plans earlier this year and we plans to use it even more in the coming months. One of the feedback we've received from our clients and our CSMs, using the success plans, is giving external users (our clients) the ability to check off objectives they've completed themselves.
I believe success plans are great tools but for a client to be truly successful, hands on learning and work needs to be done along side the work and training our CSMs are doing for the client.
Our success plan have internal (tasks only for our CSMs to see and do) and external (tasks that our clients need to do themselves) objectives. We would love if the external users, we share the success plan with, can check off objectives as they accomplish them. This provides more visibility to the client's progress through the success plan. The client (external user) and the CSM would actively see that actions that are happening real time and don't need to wait for a call to follow up if certain tasks have been completed or not.
Right now it's a "one way" success plan. Only the CSM can check off objectives and tasks... I think giving the client the ability to interact with the success plan can provide a whole different experience. One that will truly drive the success of the client and the CSM.

Thanks for sharing this. This is something we plan to implement, but I do not have an ETA for this as of now.
In the case where you want customers to edit / make changes to a success plan, what permissions do you think are needed ? Would it work for you if customers were able to edit all details of a success plan / only objectives they own / configurable by the CSM ?

Reaching out on this topic as I'm looking for something similar and it seems like some advancement has been made since the last message here. Is it correct that it is currently possible to have People you share the plan with edit objectives, but not check off tasks/objectives? I do seem to remember that I have seen a setting for that last thing somewhere, but can't remember where.
