I had the pleasure of working with a really great team recently - a team that were dealing with a very dynamic situation - a new team where not even one member of the team had met one other before this project started - a team that were working on a very, very challenging project and under extreme time pressure. 

Overall Project's Process

We worked to develop a very simple but pragmatic Project Management process for the team.

1. [Friday] Project planning and re-planning
2. [Saturday] Communication of the latest plan to the team (via an automated email from pmPoint)
3. [Everyday!] Everyone does lots of work and the team makes great progress
4. [Late Wednesday] Everyone makes a personal progress update on tasks and issues
5. [Thursday at 2pm] Weekly Team Meeting with the following agenda:
   1. Review, discuss and resolve (in so far as possible) issues
   2. Look at upcoming tasks for next week
   3. (time permitting) Look at tasks achieved last week or the highlight tasks

Project Manger's Process

We then worked together to develop this simple but practical process for Step 1 above.  Each underline below represents an option in pmPoint.
