Percentage of completion based on the number of assigned users
Hi,
Let me get straight to the point.
I'm a designer in a digital agency and many of my tasks require a design from me before the implementation/development.
Let's take the simplest of examples where 2 people are involved in a task.
Task: Website Design/Development
Assigned to: Designer, Developer
Let's assume that I, the designer, complete my designs and they are ready for development.
The developer will need an X amount of time to finish the project, it could take months.
For as long as this project takes time to developed I get to see it as an open project and projects like that pile up and I get into a situation that I have more projects marked as opened but completed by me than the actual projects to work with. Things get only worse if we count that some of them marked as high priority.
Making me nervous seeing that I have 20-30 high priority tasks open when I actually have half of them!
So my proposal is:
Taking the example above.
I'll get a button next to complete project that it will correspond only to part of the task.
So, when I finish with my designs, I can "complete my part" of the task and the percentage of the task with automatically update to 50% percent finished since we were only 2 people involved and more importantly I don't get to see it afterwards as an open project in my task list.
If were 4 people and one finishes with his part it will automatically change to 25% and so on.
As it is right now, a task can have 2 states, Open and Closed.
It's not necessary for the task to be marked closed when I complete my part but it can be flag with a new state like "in progress".
Where "in progress" means that a task is open and and completed form the active user.
The open state will show only the open projects and not completed by the active user.
So this view must be an active user specific.
That will help a lot the users to have a more realistic view of their open tasks and their productivity.
That is pretty much the idea.
