# Monitoring Progress

> Track the building process in real time with the progress dashboard.

Once your Plan Cast is running, the progress dashboard gives you a real-time view of what is happening. You can watch the building process unfold, or close your browser and come back later -- Transmuter keeps building in the background.

## The progress dashboard

The progress dashboard shows four key pieces of information:

* **Overall progress bar** -- a percentage showing how far along the build is
* **Current phase** -- a plain-language description of what is happening right now (for example, "Writing your product's code" or "Running security checks")
* **Activity feed** -- a scrolling log of recent actions, updated in real time
* **Estimated time remaining** -- an approximate countdown to completion

<Note>
  Progress updates appear within a fraction of a second of the actual work being done. The dashboard
  is a live window into the building process.
</Note>

## Building phases

Your product goes through several phases during a Plan Cast:

| Phase                           | What happens                                              | Typical duration |
| ------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| Understanding your requirements | AI reads your plan and generates detailed specifications  | 30-60 minutes    |
| Review checkpoint               | You review and approve the specifications                 | Your pace        |
| Building your product           | AI writes the code for every feature in your plan         | 2-6 hours        |
| Quality checks                  | Automated security, accessibility, and performance audits | 30-60 minutes    |
| Final review                    | Quality report presented for your review                  | Your pace        |
| Ready to deploy                 | Product is complete and waiting for your go-ahead         | --               |

## Background building

You do not need to keep your browser open. Transmuter continues building in the background and notifies you when:

* A review checkpoint is reached and your input is needed
* The build is complete and ready for deployment
* An issue occurs that requires your attention

Notifications are sent via:

* **In-app notifications** -- a bell icon in the top bar shows unread items
* **Email** -- important milestones and action-required alerts

<Tip>
  You can customize which notifications you receive via email in your [notification
  settings](/journeys/managing-account/settings).
</Tip>

## What if something goes wrong?

Transmuter handles most issues automatically with retries and recovery. If something requires your attention, you will see a clear, plain-language explanation of what happened and what you can do:

* **Retry** -- try the current step again
* **Resume** -- if the process was paused, pick up where it left off
* **Contact support** -- for issues that cannot be resolved automatically
