Hi experts,
I am using Project Pro 2007 (NO server). I am the only one who uses the
program and am still very new at this. So, please bear with me if my
questions are silly and redundant.
This question is about an on-going project... and logging it's "goings-on".
Allow me to explain better as I am sure the solution is something simple:
1.) I have Project A. It is set up with all my tasks, dates, milestones,
etc. This project will take about 3 months to complete. There are 2 people
who will work on the project the most. However, there are 4 people who will
provide bits and pieces of work and general input to the project in order to
complete their specific tasks.
2.) As the project moves along, we have meetings to determine how things are
coming along. Some of these things are simply "updates" to their work as
compared to actual tasks (ie: those little updates LEAD TO the actual task
being completed). So, for all intents and purposes, those specific "updates"
are not necessarily in the Project Task List.
My problem is this... as each week's meeting goes by, the updates add up
along the way. There's no way to know if these "updates" would be tasks since
it's normally something that comes up DURING a task. But, it's important to
the Executives to know what the status is of those updates are so they can
see how things are moving (or not moving) along. It's also important to have
those notes from one meeting to relay it to another party... or another
meeting. Inevitably, I could have 1 task that will last 10 weeks and have a
ton of these little updates all along the way. The key is... I need a way to
show that updates information. But, I just don't get it... where in Project I
am supposed to add that kind of on-going information?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
