Mastering Project Planning with Start and End Dates
When it comes to project planning, tasks with timelines are complete. That's where the power of start and end dates in Pronnel comes into play. This tutorial will explore how to effectively use start and end dates on an item in Pronnel and uncover their features and usage that will enhance your project management experience.
Understanding Start and End Dates
Start and end dates are default attributes in Pronnel that allow you to assign specific timelines to your tasks or items. Setting a start date and an end date provides crucial information about each item's duration and expected completion.
Additionally, you can include an optional time field along with the date for more precise scheduling.
Significance of Start and End Dates
Start and end dates are more than dates on a calendar. They play a crucial role in determining the progress of your items within Pronnel's bucket system. We recommend referring to the video link "How to Create a Simple Process Board from Scratch in Pronnel" to gain a deeper understanding of buckets.
Notifications and Deadlines
An item's assignee receives notifications before the start time, ensuring they have ample time to prepare and get started on the task. In the event of a delay, if the item surpasses its scheduled end date without reaching the final bucket, the assignee and all collaborators will be notified. These notifications continue daily until the item is moved to the final bucket. Pronnel also allows you to configure the frequency and duration of these notifications, tailoring them to your specific needs.
Customizing Date Attributes
If you need to add more date-related attributes to your items beyond the start and end dates,
Pronnel offers additional customization options. We recommend referring to the tutorial and video on "Custom Date Attribute" to learn more about custom date attributes and their usage.
