In-House Training: Project Intake
Attendees: Core Workamajig Implementation Team, Project Managers, Account Managers, Traffic Team.
Scheduled Time: 1 hr
A project intake workflow allows your team to efficiently process your project requests, and turn them into working projects. This session is designed to assist your team in developing a workflow that best fits your project team and their interaction with project requests, as well as, getting a project created, schedules firmed up, and budgets put in place
Why is this important? This session will highlight The Workamajig Way - the way to enter projects, estimates and assignments in to Workamajig with minimum effort, but maximum results. We will walk through the process of creating a project by copying from a template, creating an estimate based on the schedule and assignments, setting up the project team, and assigning users to tasks on the project.
The Workamajig Implementation Team and Project Managers etc. should know:
- Create New Project From Request Form/From Scratch.
- Edit New Project Settings and Schedule.
- Create Project Estimate/Budget.
