Workflow organization

Hi,




I have to keep track in the planning of all the tasks of one project.
Work and subwork must be approved by a supervisor and the resource to whom the job has been assigned, must be able to change the % of progress.

How can I orgnaize my workflow? (ticket, activities, action etc)

thank you for your help

sorry for the delay

Thank you

Hi,

My name is Sebastian. I just decided to utilise Project'or Ria for my project so I am quite new to it.

I think I face similar problem as you described above therefore I am not opening a new topic and instead I give you my arguments as a reply .

I'd like to find out if there still would be a possibility to track the progress according to task's/project’s real progress instead of the time spent on it.

In my case I have a lot of tasks which cannot be predicted in time and can be easily measured in pieces. For example a task can contain 5000 pcs of records to make. For me that would be great to know how many pieces were done by a resource instead of time spent on it. Each records are different and one can take 5 minutes, another 15 minutes. At the end of a time period I should know how many records were done, how many records are left to do and what is the progress of the task/project based on "(q-ty done)/ (q-ty to do)*100" .
That solution would be better for task where the quantity of items to do is a main factor determining the progress.

Basing on time is perfect when you know how effective the time is and when you can reliably estimate the time spent on a task.

If a person has many task to do and it's work is for example interrupted you'd never know how much real time was spent on it. In that case you'd be more interested in knowing what is the progress - which would be measurable and reliable instead of time spent which may mislead the manager.

Concluding, my question is if there is a possibility of measuring the progresses of a task/project basing of the job's progress (pieces, quantity or simply inputting percentage manually) instead of the time.

I would be really grateful for your help in finding the solution or giving an advice,

Thank you in advance,
Sebastian,

Thanks for your quick response! I am really surprised

Your suggestion seems reasonable. I am not familiar with the program enough to predict what would be the consequences for the whole project calculation if I follow your idea.

I consider to adopt my data and jobs for time control somehow and found following idea:

1. Find average time for a record – for example 8 minutes to make one record
2. Multiply the average time by the quantity to do – e.g. 8 minutes*5000 records=40000 minutes=666,6 hrs and that would be the duration i suppose
3. The resource would have the capacity left as it really is
4. After finished job instead of real time spend he’d have to make a manual calculation – (records done)*(average time). The result could be treated and input as (in my opinion even effective effective time:)and input accordingly.

The progress should then reflect the real status of the task/project and the idea of using time would remain intact.

I wonder how you’d see it, would that work properly?
