Hi Marc,
Thanks for your detailed scenarios. I am going to add this thread to
our list of potential Target Users and Target User Groups for our
Plausible Dashboard tenet in 0.7.
I may be pinging you again for more information about specific
workflows :o)

Hi Mimi,
Yes people certainly have deadlines. However, when you're going to
work on a project to meet that deadline is harder to pin down for a
lot of people.
On most projects I receive some data to work on at specific dates;
when I
worked on a vehicle I had to wait for some collision testing done at a
specialized facility. When the data became available I then
finished an
aspect of the project. Or when I receive the prototype I ordered
I'll make
some modifications to the CAD files.
It's sure that some of these events will slip over time but that's
why these
calendars can be dynamic and that I don't post a pdf...
Another way to think about it might be to allow a special Free-Busy
field where users can "describe" the F/B time blocks without
revealing specific details about their events.
Yes, if they allow overlapping.
Could you talk a little about how you come up with the percentages
for your work?
I'm in charge of the IT here and it takes about 10 hours a week. I
also do
some management for our PDM system and that takes roughly 6 hours a
week.
Right now I'm on 3 projects. Project A takes 20 hours a week and it
will be
so until march when we'll have a one-month break for the factory to
come
back with a prototype. I'll then have to give 30 hours a week for 3
weeks to
meet a deadline. I have project B that is pretty idle these days
because the
customer have to make a decision. When he will do so, I'll put all my
available time on that and if necessary I'll take some time from a
co-worker.
If I plot that on my calendar it gives me, and the managers, a
pretty good
idea of my workload.
Thanks,
