Some updates on the trackers could be simply automated if we have an engine to allow us to defined some business rules.

The objective is to automate some actions like status update or attributes update based on some conditions.
By example: if we have an attribute for Due Date on a tracker and today's date is bigger than the due date, it means the deadline is passed and an attribute could be set to identify this artifact as delayed or change the status automatically to "Delayed".

This kind of engine exists in some Kanban tools like Kanbanize (https://kanbanize.com//).
This kind of feature could be a great added value to simplify the actions on the artifacts and make sure to always have a correct status.
