The Home Depot has this exact same scenario that we are trying to solve for. (credit to Chris Canada - I borrowed your scenario and tweaked it)
We would also like to be part of the team to talk through different scenarios with the product team if there are spots available!
Our Scenario:
Project A = Campaign with many supporting tasks; (Lead by Jane)
Project B = Studio task that support completion of project A (Lead by Bob)
Jane creates a project in WF to track and manage an upcoming marketing campaigns. (Project A) She creates a task in this project to have a webpage developed and assigns it to Bob, who leads the digital team.
Bob gets notified of the task assigned by Jane in Project A and he creates his own project to manage the studio tasks that complete the creative (Project B). As studio tasks progresses on project B, the % completed changes to 50%.
For Jane to be aware of this progress, relative to her campaign (Project A), Bob needs to manually update the task in Project A to match his progress of Project B. Jane could always go to Bob's project, but this seem like added effort.
If Bob were able to RELATE his Project B to the task Jane created in Project A - and the system updated the Project A Task item to match that of the progress % Project B - well Jane could simply review her Project A and know exactly where Bob is in the development of the webpage. And to aid Jane in her efforts to manage a complex campaign, she clicks on the Task from Project A and is immediately directed over to Project B where she can review and contribute.
