I would agree that this is an appropriate use of MLO and also that there are some gaps in capability in the area you describe - ie a programme of things that you need to do over a period of time.
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Emerald, CFA Sent: 09 November 2012 4:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MLO] MLO and project management I appreciated the comments from whomever talked about projects a day or two ago. I agree that MLO will probably not become a major force in the Project Management sphere, but for SMALL projects, I've been begging to see MLO upgraded to do so. Specifically, I enjoy the simple checklist format of MLO, far easier than marking bars 100% complete, or reading down a gantt chart to find what needs to be done or is slipping. On the other hand what I sorely miss in MLO, and I know it's been discussed before, is: a. Dependency relationships, and more importantly b. Lag times between steps. While the above are probably obvious, an example is setting up client meetings. There are about 20 steps I take, and MLO is perfect for it. 3 days before the meeting I prepare all client docs, and a day or so I send out a reminder, and the day of the meeting I prepare my web-conference environment. For this, I need a template that allows for lags. Manually changing the start date, or worse the due date, is cumbersome. But for repeating small projects, like client meetings, MLO fits the bill well. What do you think?
