Hi Dario I am in a similar situation. I've been using MLO for years. I find it great for getting things into one "trusted" place. What I haven't figured out is how to use it to drive my work. Every couple months I realize I've dropped a bunch of things that I should have completed. They are in the system. But I don't seem to be able to use MLO to trigger my actions. You may want to take a look at the "Goal" setting. There is a checkbox for "week". This would make the task a goal for the week. It doesn't seem to map to a calendar week or any specific week period. It seems to just be a flag for filtering. Another option would be to create a context for the week you want to assign the work and then assign each task to that context. Then you would have your weekly tasks to review with your team. You could create a tab with custom filters and views for that context to drive your focus. I say all this, but don't seem to be able to get it working easily for myseff. It seems to take a lot of maintenance to keep current and valuable. Hopefully some of the guru's will chime in ....
