As I explained in the last post ...

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 that never met each other before the project started - a team that were working on a very challenging project. 

Overall Project's Process

We worked together to develop this simple but practical process for each Team Member for step 4 of the Project's approach (which is copied here again). 

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

Team Member Update Process

1. Update My Tasks for the past week by updating values in the simple grid
   • Perhaps change the status field to say "In Progress" or "Completed"
   • If you have started a task, then enter the "Actual Start Date"
   • If you have completed a task, then enter the "Actual Finish Date"
   • If the task in question is problematic you may select the "Issue Indicator" field and provide details in the "Issue Description" fields
   • Also feel free to add comments and other details in the "Description field"
2. Optionally:
   • Check your work for the coming week - My Work Due Soon or My Gantt
     • This is in as an optional task as you will be getting an email reminder about your upcoming work!
   • Add a project document to the Documents folder
   • Add non-critical project To Dos
   • Check the overall status of the project by looking at the Weekly Status Report
