Project status or progress on dashboard
I was just looking over the various projects on goplan and had a thought. I would like to have statuses on each project, viewable from my dashboard, that tell me what my status is on the project (for example "Waiting for client response to email on 3rd January"). This personal status would be set and only viewable by the project owner. Or there could be a global project "status" that gives a brief summary of where things stand that everyone can see.
I know I could use notes, but that requires delving into the project. I'd like to see a dashboard that provides more an overview of progress across projects, not just an update of recent activity.

Your suggestion is spot on, and something we've been thinking about lately. Goplan 2 (coming soon) includes the notion of project milestones that give you a pretty good sense of how your project is - however, I like your solution of a free-form "status". We'll discuss your suggestion and we'll get back to you here. Sounds good?
I’m excited

Inappropriate?It's nice to see the statuses idea incorporated on the recent blog post. Good job.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?I'm a new user to GoPlan. Since I don't see any status assignments on projects, I'm assuming GoPlan 2 has not been launched yet. Any target date for that? -
Inappropriate?Maybe I'm thinking of this differently, but a great way to track % completion would be awesome...
Imagine you had a milestone with 10 tasks assigned to it. If 3 of those were checked off, then on the dashboard you could show by that milestone (30% complete). Add 10 more tasks and complete 2 more, and you're at (25% complete). In other words, it would constantly evaluate # of tasks against percentage completed.
Heck, you could even map it out on a time line on the dashboard; looking like a thermometer turned on its side. And then create one big % complete bar for the project.
I’m excited about something like this.

Inappropriate?A lot of the project managers I have used have a progress status bar that shows progress per project based on completed milestones and per milestone based on completed tasks within a milestone. This is a must have for clients. Most do not want to read through the activity stream. They just want a general idea of when it will be done and current progress.
