Lately was comparing features of primavera vs project server, and one of the feature lacking in Project server was automatically logging of Risk / Issues, WOW such a simple feature but can project server be at comparison on this, absolutely not 🙂
Hence while thinking quickly thought of doing some custom development and here is what i came up with, I know there are numerous possibilities & combinations that you can have, as i understand every organization has its own requirement and set of guides / policies / custon columns, however just taking some basic generalized information and tried to have this simple utility
Functionality:: It connects to Reporting DB to gather project / resource level information such as custom fields / default fields does some comparison as per condition specified now there are numerous possible combinations so just consider it as a solution starter and you can extend it as you like, further once it gathers the information, it logs Issues / Risks on the project site using the list web services
Since i started with a prototype, below you can find the snapshots as i progress and complete the code, will share it along
You are most welcome & feel free to respond with your comments, i have few more good ideas on which i am working and hope to share some of them pretty soon 🙂 Keep watching
