Getting started by creating a new Project.
Press the Create a New project button. Each project
has an administrator that sets up the project, milestones, resource,
tasks, feedback categories, and assigns resources to the task.
Step 2, Create a MileStone. A Milestone is used to group one or more
tasks together. The milestone rolls up estimated start and end dates and hours,
for all of its tasks.
Tasks rollup daily updates amounts for assigned resources. Additionally, task actual information is rolled up to
milestones and the project: start and end dates,hours and cost. Create a Task and add estimate start dates, estimated hours, and verify potential end dates.
Step 3, Create a resource. A project has a group of available resources
to complete work. A resource has a bill rate and a username and password. A resource logins, selects daily update, and actual work amounts.
Step 4, Assign the resource to a task. This will allow the resource the ability
to login into daily update and see tasks to post actual time against.

Step 5, Have the resource login using their username and password created for them. A screen will appear allowing them to provide a daily update, follow organizer notes, and feedback.
The Resource option: daily update reflects real-time work accumulation; the followup organizer allows the Resource to post followup work notes; and lastly, feedback allows the Resource to post a note to other resources in the project.
Now developers have an additional tool too increase development speed.
Step 6, The Followup Organizer allows users the ability to electronically post daily working tasks and followup notes. A helpful list show all open tasks sorted by date.
Step 7, As a project manager closely monitor the progress of your project through some very helpful reports: Overdue Tasks (tasks late in starting work),
Completed Tasks(Progress Reports), and Cost and Time (Cost Percentages over or under cost, and time percentages over or under due)
Step 8, Provide resource Feedback by pressing post message under a specific topic. Other developers can respond to the feedback by pressing the reply button.
Step 9, Provide resource Schedule event information by adding an time event. The scheduled event flow up the project, so manager know time availablity for this developers.
