We are currently using Fusion Manage for our ECR process. One large issue for my department as coordinator of this process is the scheduling of tasks. We have used templates to create tasks for different teams.
Right now, there is two options:
- Create all tasks and initiate them at the same time.
- Create some tasks, wait for them to finish and then create dependent tasks
Option 1 will create a lot of tasks which cannot be started by the assignees, because they are missing information from predecessor tasks. People are forced to regularly check the status of tasks they are dependent on. After a while tasks become a mess.
Option 2 is what we are doing right now. This causes a lot of overhead on our side. So we will have to initiate task A. When this is done, we will get information from Fusion, because there are no open tasks. Then we will have to check the template manually, which would be the next consecutive tasks and create that manually, assign and initiate it.
It would help us much, if there would be either an option to initiate only a selection of tasks which have been created by template or (even better) link tasks as predecessors and successor (GANT basics) so that completion of task A will trigger initiating task B.
