About the Lifecycle tracker

Updated: October 2, 2025

The Lifecycle tracker is an asset layout widget and an integral element of the Lifecycle management feature. It allows you to:

Monitor the evolution of your AI use cases, deployed AI models, and AI agents.
View the assessment history of your AI use cases, deployed AI models, and AI agents, including the statuses of all assessments.
Start an assessment that hasn't yet been started.
Add new assessments of a specific type and sign-off activities.
Advance your AI use cases, deployed AI models, and AI agents to the next lifecycle stage.

Important To show the Lifecycle tracker on asset pages, certain conditions need to be met. For more information, go to Include the Lifecycle tracker on asset pages.

You can use the asset layout editor to reposition the Lifecycle tracker on the asset page, to suit your content layout needs. For more information, go to About asset layout.

By default, when you register a new deployed AI model or AI use case, certain out-of-the-box assessment types are automatically added to the Lifecycle tracker. You can, however, configure which activities you want added automatically to the Lifecycle tracker when an asset of a certain type is created. For complete information, consult the topics in the section Configuring AI Governance asset types.

Lifecycle tracker elements

No.	Element	Description
	Stage stepper	Shows the lifecycle stages of the asset. For example, the default lifecycle of an AI use case is: Ideation, Development, and Monitoring. The lifecycle stages that are shown in the stage stepper are determined by the asset statuses configured in the Core path section of the Lifecycle activities tab of the asset's global assignment. For complete information, go to Configure the lifecycle stages of AI Governance assets. Tip You can click the tabs in the stage stepper to view the activities that were completed in a previous lifecycle stage, or those awaiting action in an advanced stage. Doing so does not change the lifecycle stage of the asset.
	Activities table	The collection of activities that have been added for the use case. Status: The status of the activity. For example: Assigned, Not Started, and Draft. Activity: The assessment template used for the assessment or the name of a sign-off activity. Owner: The owner of the assessment, as defined in the Owner field of the Properties sidebar of the assessment. For sign-off activities, the Owner is the user who added the activity. Assignees: For assessments, the users or user groups specified in the Assignees field of the Properties sidebar of the assessment. For sign-offs, the users or user groups specified in the Assignees field when adding a sign-off. For decisions, there is no assignee. Last Update: The date on which the activity was last edited and saved. Priority (Required): Indicates that a lifecycle activity must be completed before you can advance the asset to the next lifecycle stage. Actions: For assessments, click Start to start conducting the assessment. For sign-offs, click View to view the sign-off instructions and take action. Note The Start button is not shown if you don't have a global role that has the Assessments > Conduct Assessments global permission.
	Add Activity button	Allows you to add assessments and sign-off activities to the Lifecycle tracker.
	Move to <stage> button	Click Move to <stage>, to advance or revert the lifecycle stage of the asset. You can only advance to the next lifecycle stage once all required lifecycle activities are complete. Required activities have the value "Required" in the column Priority. Note The button is shown only to users that have a resource role with the Asset > Update Status resource permission on the community or domain in which the asset is stored.
