We are on the lookout for a way to log non-productive work for all resources:
The "Administrative projects" category seems to fit this need, because the resources need not be allocated to such projects.
Also, they need not be assigned a task. Thus they themselves can create a new task and enter the actual time spent.
If that understanding is correct (please confirm?), there are a couple of questions about how to configure the system:
1. Does the Admin need to explicitly define at least one such project? Or does ProjeQtor add one Administrative project by default?
2. How would a person know what types of tasks are available, if an Administrative-type project does not have tasks beforehand?
(e.g. he may not know/expect that Earned Leaves are to be entered here.)
3. If the same meeting is attended by multiple people, then it ought to be defined by the person who called it.
Then anyone who attended it can log in his time against that particular task.
(In this case, ProjeQtor shows that 10 people attended the same meeting, and can even store the outcome, if any.)
But usually the seniors lack this discipline: They call meetings at a whim, and do not bother to create a "meeting" task in ProjeQtor.
One viable solution is that one of the attendees enters the task post facto, and alerts the others to enter their own timing against it.
Is that possible? In other words, if a resource creates a task, is it visible to others, and can they add their own time to it?
- Idle time (no work assigned)
- Training
- Leave of all kinds (Sick leave, Earned leave, Casual leave)
- Building infrastructure for the organization (e.g. configuring CM system)
- Attending meetings called by the seniors, unrelated to any project/product
