Thanks, Steve.  I think this view could definitely help us.  One small request ... for the line items, can you change the text to wrap so that if it's more than one line we can read the entire item?

Thanks,
Darcy

Thanks Steve, let's try this and see if it can help us for managing the work and deadlines. for the target dates, we will need to refine them later e.g. those scheduled by default for July.

Best,

Hello Team,

 

I created the project plan in…a couple systems actually, but neither is as feature rich as I would like. I was resistant to using Excel since upkeep is rather manual. Attached, please find the Gantt for the project, which will require a bit of zooming in to read properly. Hopefully this is helpful in understanding where we have some catching up to do (the items in red) and all of the things that are coming due in April (which might be cause to change dates to better ensure success).

 

Note, there were a handful of items where there is no proposed delivery date. For the moment, I’ve just slotted them into July so that they have a home, but that can obviously change.

 

Please let me know if you have questions, concerns, suggestions, additional elements that should be captured, etc.

 

Best,

Steve

Hi Darcy, Steve,

 

Thanks for the comments.

I agree that we need a better way to visualize the workplan in more accessible and easy to use format. We can also have a recurrent short agenda item in the beginning or end of our calls to check about status using that reference document. We have to live up ourselves to the requirements of better project management.

@Steve please go ahead and start working on draft work plan. I would suggest to use google spreadsheet/doc in order to avoid managing versions but we can take note  of changes/updates in the document itself.

 

Best,

 

Rafik

Hello Team,

 

I know the development of a project plan was a brief subject of discussion today and no firm decisions were made, but given some of the conversation on the call and of course Darcy’s email below, it seems that it would be helpful. Not anticipating any objections, staff will prepare a draft work plan, that should really just flow from the current Word doc version, but be in a hopefully more user friendly, visual format.

 

Best,

Steve

All,

 

As we go through this ... I think it may make a great deal of sense to not manage this project in the Word doc with redlines.  I'm not suggesting we can't have the written Implementation Plan. But it would be much easier for the members to have access to a sortable chart to identify priorities, due dates, status, who is working on each item, etc.  A lot of the chat during today's call points to concerns about how we know what's next, when something is due, how we prioritize what we're doing, etc.  A project plan in a Google spreadsheet or an Excel file that offers the ability to prioritize and sort would be helpful.

 

Thoughts?

 

Darcy
