Can tasks be automatically completed as scheduled by default?

[darkstar]

We are looking to implement Project Server 2007 in a regulated
research environment where study activities are governed by strict
protocols and typically consist of recurring tasks done on constrained
dates followed by unconstrained tasks for sample preparation, data
analysis, and reporting phases. Our work force is made up entirely of
exempt professionals, so while we would like to be able to track
resource assignments and allocations,the use of timesheets is not a
high priority.

Is it possible to set up PWA so that tasks are 100% done on schedule
by default, and user intervention is only required when tasks are NOT
completed as scheduled, so that notifications are sent to affected
downstream stakeholders if their schedules are changed by
modifications to dependent tasks? Basically, it would be the opposite
of the traditional scheme where assignments require updates to be
marked as completed, i.e., the task is done as scheduled by default
unless stated otherwise.

There is no default way to do this in Project Server 2007. You might be
able to do this with custom software development. In that case, you could
post a question in the microsoft.public.project.developer newsgroup to let
our developers take a stab at your question. Hope this helps.
