How to log production work from a Project?

[fosterlynn]

Info about the data structures, fyi in thinking about how to best get to logging production work from a project in a new UX:

So the data goes Project - Order (Customer or Work Order) - Process - Inputs and Outputs

But we could certainly skip the Order part and just bring back active processes for a project - defined however people want, using the start and end dates on the process, or using presence of recent contributions. Or not. Or go directly to Process but organize it by Order.... ??

Also note that for a Process Inputs and Outputs, there are both plans (commitments) and actuals (economic events). The plans could have been committed to by a person, or not. And we have sort of moved away from the notion of one person on a task, because in practice people tend to collaborate on tasks. And planning is optional, so you may or may not have plans in place for a process. But if you do, there is much less to log for actuals.

In any case, there are 2 ways a person could be found as actively "working on" a process: they have committed to a task, or they have worked on a task.

NOTE: I'm not trying to suggest anything here, just trying to provide some info on the data structures as food for thought. Feel free to use or ignore! :)

I wish I could make an intelligent suggestion here, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around the processes. Hopefully some enlightenment on this issue will come about from the surveys and user stories.

@fosterlynn, I think you're closer to this than anyone, so we can just run with whatever you think is best, as far as I'm concerned.

@christroutner I can certainly make some suggestions to try in prototype mode, but I don't want to short circuit any of @mfrangos thoughts. I have some ideas, but there is a danger I am too deep into the existing system. Like I wouldn't have thought of the person page Maria did.

Suggested process: If you get to a point where you don't know where to go next in prototype mode because the longer term requirements are not settling quite yet, ping and I'll offer a suggestion, which we can also walk through together. And everyone else can participate as they like. Then we get the combination of the new thinking and old knowledge.

I hope that we can as a team work out how to have the longer term design process and the shorter term prototyping process feed positively into each other..... and in the meantime, I won't be at all offended if someone tells me to back off! Really! :)

that's a good process for design.

i'll get back to this activity after the new year.
