A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for using an interactive progress indicator bar to graphically display, and interact with, the completion status information of a plurality of computer operations before they are completed. An interactive progress indicator bar is implemented in a graphical user interface (GUI) and comprises a plurality of progress indicator segments. As computer operations are completed, the details of their completion status are entered into a computer operation log and indexed to their corresponding progress indicator segments. Concurrently, color attributes are applied to progress indicator segments to graphically indicate the completion status of their associated computer operations. Predetermined levels of completion status details are displayed through a user gesture as the cursor is placed over a computer operation's corresponding progress indicator segment. A contextual level of completion status information is displayed in a computer operation log that is automatically scrolled to the corresponding completion status information.
