Cookbook recipe highlight: Team Members Tasks By Project (Ready to Start)

I personally love those recipe websites where there's a nice long story at the start before you even get to the recipe, and I think this is probably one such recipe that could benefit from a little more backstory.

The most interesting thing about the recipe is the creation of the custom status. It puts one more thing into the Project Owner's list of to-do's [which is now they have to come back and change that status whenever the task is ready to start]. There's no way to automatically set a task to this custom status without the use of fusion, so this is something a Project Owner has to do manually. It's the equivalent of a recipe that starts with an instruction to "make your own phyllo dough" -- time-consuming and best left for rainy Saturdays. And some customers just like rainy Saturdays!

We have thousands of projects -- so tens of thousands of tasks, and this wouldn't be a workable solution in our company. However, Workfront is very customizable and different customers have different uses. For a more high volume shop I would suggest using a more automated solution like using store-bought phyllo, or combining use of the Task "Can Start" field, and task predecessors.

I also liked the report My Work, ready to Start.

Thank you @Kyna Baker - inactive‚ for sharing this cookbook.

Do you have any recommendation about how to collect info about planned hours for this year quarter wise? This visualization with respect to project under each portfolio. I tried by Task report, with adding criteria for task start date & completion date this year. The reason to select Task type report, because many projects started last year and before last year. But, NO SUCCESS.

Even Workfront consultants did not succeeded till yet.

Still looking for some recommendation.

Hi @Kundan Kumar, this sounds like a great question to ask on it's own thread so we can get people looking at it!
