Hey there,
For our initial project management build-out, we've chosen to use checklists for tasks inside the project itself. We chose this for the speed at which new tasks can be added; its much quicker than adding a new task via a linked app (which takes a minimum of two clicks to even get to a modal to insert new information)
I may well rethink this though, as I'm not sure how to correctly set statuses for checklists.
It appears that in work there is no way to set the defaults to something else. The defaults seems to be
open or resolved, which doesn't sit well with the other users. Even just open and complete would be better, or even just a completed checkbox (like in the grid view) - but the idea of "resolved" is somewhat confusing within our context. I understand this is a LITTLE thing, but it really helps when trying to get all staff on board with using a new system even in a small business like ours.
Any tips / tricks? I'm thinking it will likely just mean we have to expand out into a tasks app and everything that means (complication) - and we are REALLY trying to avoid complication. Alas.
How have others solved this? Do you use checklists for tasks for project management, or do you bite the bullet and put the tasks in a second app?
