Send a TeamStatus Message
Monitoring project progress can be tedious, as you continually type up-to-date task information into a
schedule. A more efficient way for a workgroup manager to incorporate changes into a project schedule is to
exchange TeamStatus messages with workgroup members. As a workgroup manager, you can send a
TeamStatus message to a workgroup member and request information about the progress of a task.
To send a TeamStatus message
- Select the task for which you want status information.
To get status information on several tasks, select each of the tasks.
- On the Tools menu, point to Workgroup, and then click TeamStatus.
- To send a request about the selected task only, click Selected task, and then click OK.
To send a request about all the tasks in your project, click All tasks, and then click OK.
- In the Subject box, type the subject of the status request.
- In the message area, type your message.
- Click Send.
An indicator appears notifying you that you’ve sent a status request but have yet to receive a response.
