I’m in a (maybe unusual?) position where I have several projects that keep switching type. Sometimes I have to do X number of things in a certain order, but then I’ll have a bunch of tasks that can be done in any order. I realised I’ve been trying to remember this and then subsequently forgetting “after X change project type”. How do/would you handle this? Add a task to the project? Add a note to it? Just have everything be sequential?
Use Sub-Groups??? Notice how the first two sub-groups are parallel. The last actions are then sequential. Just modify this to fit your case.
Project Report (sequential)
- Collect Info (parallel group)
– get inputs from team
– get sales numbers from marketing
– get stock history from accounting - Assemble (parallel group)
– input team numbers
– input sales numbers
– input stock history - finalize report layout
- send report to team for feedback
- get team feedback
- make corrections to report
- submit report

I wasn’t quite sure what was meant by subgroups but after a quick trip to the manual it looks like action groups are exactly what I need - thank you! :)
