[Unable to cancel a project]

I am trying to cancel a project but get the following error;

However, there are no active tasks or milestones on the project

Thanks

[Sort Milestones by Due date]

Thanks @Darren Rose

I'll add this sorting requirement and get back as we progress it, seems like a reasonable one 

Steve

Thanks, Steve 

[Sort Milestones by Due date]

Although you can change the order of the milestones using the arrows, it would be good to have the option sort by due date simply by clicking on it. Same would apply for Status and Progress

is that possible? 

[Benefits]

Hi

It would be really beneficial if a new section could be added for benefits. This could be recorded as a financial measure or a separate measurable objective.

I see this being similar to the cost section maybe? It would then allow for a cost / benefit analysis to be completed

Thanks

[Multiple Progressive Captures]

Absolutely, Keith. I'm sure this will come from what @alextumber has said.

We definitely require more flexibility in the ProCap and BPM

[Import Tasks via Excel]

+ 1, we would definitely find this useful. It would be good to be able to bulk the projects, not necessarily all the tasks, to enable a transition from our current spreadsheet hell, to getting them registered on Project Manager

[Issue with Time Plans]

Hello

I was trying to set up a time plan, that would send a notification. However, whilst doing the configuration, I can never get the option to Apply Event Settings to become available to select. 

Am I doing something wrong? 

 

[FAQs]

We use the data within the h_itsm_faqs table to get the number of views and the feedback count. 

I don't think you can see who is viewing, but Hornbill may be able to correct me on that one

[Risk Owner / Asssignee and PM's]

Hi Alex

I agree there could may be scenarios where more than one PM could be working on the project, but there should really always one accountable person that is overall responsible for delivery of the project, but isn't necessarily the project sponsor either. 

There is a Project Manager listed at the top of the project, which is kind of what we're after from a reporting perspective. When we review the list of all projects, knowing who the key responsible person is would be ideal. 

 

Any ideas on the Risk Owner / Assignee question? 

thanks

Darren 

 

 

[Risk Owner / Asssignee and PM's]

Would it be possible to have a Risk Owner and /or a Risk Assignee Field on the Risk Section? 

Also, I noticed that the following field is empty on the Projects table -  h_project_projects->Project Manager Id

Should this be populated with person that's listed as the Project Manager in the list of project stakeholders? 

I can also add more than on PM to a project. Should that be limited to only one Project Manager on the project? 

Thanks

Darren 

[Assigning Tasks]

Great. Thanks, @alextumber

[Assigning Tasks]

Thanks, Alex. A common scenario for us is to have defined the tasks that need to be done (our backlog in effect), but we will only assign to a person to complete when we begin each sprint cycle. 

I think that's from me for today

thanks for the swift replies

[Assigning Tasks]

Hi

If I create a task and leave the 'Assigned to' field empty, when I save the task it automatically adds the owner of the task as the assignee and marks the status as assigned. Would it be possible for it to be created without an assignee and have the status of 'unassigned'?

thanks

Darren 

[Viewing all Projects]

That's ok. I just realised that it was down to being a member of a project gave me visibility. Good to know. I think we can work round it for now

Templates with stakeholders as default would be a good addition to the templating tool

Thanks

Darren 

[Viewing all Projects]

Is there a way of viewing all projects, and not just those created by myself? 

I can report on them, but cannot see projects raised by others within the App. 

Thanks

Darren 

[Estimated Time / Effort]

Ta

[Estimated Time / Effort]

Hi

Would it be possible to add Estimated Effort / Time to the task, in addition to the start and due dates? If we could add estimated time / effort in hours or days against the task, we could then compare that to the actual recorded time against the task. 

It would also help identify the amount of effort / time required for a milstone to be reached or total effort for the delivery of the project

Thanks

Darren

[Total Costs]

Thanks. I can work around it using PowerBI reporting in the meantime, but it would always be ideal to have it in the project app. 

[Total Costs]

Right ok, thanks for that. Just another thought would help on the Costs tab would be have a Total Estimated Costs as well as the Total Actual Costs. Ideally Total Estimated Costs would be at the line level too, so that it's easy to see the value different (which can see on the chart, but not on the table. If this also included a column showing the variance, then we'd be on to a winner

[Project Manager Feedback]

Great! You may already have an answer to some of my queries already then 

[Total Costs]

Would it be possible to have a Total Cost added to the Cost Tab which adds up all of the individual rows? 

Or adds it add a field on the Overview tab? 

If it could populate the Budget field on the details form, that would be be pretty perfect too 

Thanks

Darren 

[Project Manager Feedback]

Good morning @alextumber @Steven Boardman @Gerry

Firstly, I just thought I'd say that I ran a demo with our PMO team and IT director, and the feedback was extremely positive, so you're clearly on the right path, so thank you. It made my morning much easier than I expected

I do have a few suggestions which I will post separately for tracking and convenience, but just I thought I'd share the positivity from the rest of the team here at VINCI

Thanks

[Completing Project Tasks]

haha, I'll try not to keep pestering you too much, but I know these are what I'll get asked too so going for a pre-emptive strike

The risk matrix is very useful and will allow us to categorise risks the way we currently do

Thanks

Darren 

[Completing Project Tasks]

When completing a task in a project it doesn't seem to be updating the Audit history, so you do not know when the task was completed. 

Also, if completing the task from your activity feed, and you put in comments as part of the task completion, you cannot see these in the task audit history either.

Can this is be amended? 

thanks

Darren
