How might we...
- Practice/Emergence: How might we practice the five elements?
- How might we use Wrike to replace our time projection spreadsheet?
Hypothesis
If we enter time projections by project by month into Wrike then we’ll be able to see people’s capacity and easily shift projects when timing changes.
Design
Alison will enter Natalie, her own, and Aja’s projections into Wrike, creating intra project dependencies for each individual.
Metrics
Is Susan able to see a meaningful time projection for the three individuals?
Learnings
My conclusion from this is that the current time projections sheet MAG uses is really comprehensive and easy to use.
Decisions
With technical support and input time, we could probably set something up that uses “anticipated hours” and puts them into another report, but it is unclear if this would be able to give us the level of detail and context that the current projections spreadsheet provides. This anticipated hours would shift if we shifted the project timeline.
If we move forward with Wrike, technical support as we set it up will be essential.
Questions
How do other organizations/consulting firms manage their time projections (eg. Groupaya, Netcentrics Campaigns, etc)?
