Hello Josh,
Well, the good news is that outline lists and "life score" (ie overall
progress score) are all part of MLO. However...
*Notes*:
- All items need to be tracked and reported in; Planned, Actual,
Variance, Change from previous time-period, past-present-future, in totals
and in averages.
- Neither these metrics nor the ability to compare the file now with
a previous version are built into MLO. You'd have to export to xml and
then
do some nifty programming in some other app to be able to do that.
- Need to be recording Est Start Date, EED, ETC, AST, AED, ATC for each
layer/level from goal-sub goal-task-subtask. Basically your standard
project management tracking and reporting requirements; who, what, when,
where, why, how, planned v actual, from project inception through to
forecasted completion
- I don't know what most of those abbreviations even are. I take it
they come from project management and planning software, like Microsoft
Project, or something even more complex.
- Also want to be able to assign weighted values to various goals among
a few other things, like assigning statuss, archiving once completed,
auto-scheduling tasks, gant/calendar/table or sheet views etc...
- Weighted values? You should be able to do something with Importance
and Urgency scores.
- Goal status - certain values are built in. You could also use
contexts or flags to do something specific to your needs.
- Auto-backup of your outline and auto-archive of completed tasks can
both be configured within MLO and are pretty robust.
- Gantt charts - not built in. Maybe you could do something with an
app which can read xml, like Microsoft PowerBI - although I wasn't able
to
get PowerBI to make any sense of an xml export of my MLO outline, so
couldn't help you with this advanced stuff.
in summary, the level of automation and reporting you want would require
some heavyweight project management tool, I think. MLO's strength is in
setting up a simple outline with some manual tags and then being able to
set up some quite complex views, with custom filtering, sorting and
grouping, to show your tasks in the order and groups you need at various
stages in your workflow. Automation and dependencies, along with change
tracking, are not its strength and would need some other software - perhaps
with a link to use task data exported from MLO.
Good luck with your plans,
Stéphane
