Statuses and how to use them:
Stuck – change to stuck if you’re at a stopping point and can’t proceed
Working on it – when you are in the process of working on the task
In review – once you’ve completed and Chris needs to review
Done – once that task is officially reviewed and complete
The description of each task is where you will receive your instructions for said task.
When starting work on a task, make sure to select “start timer”. This appears above all the updates on the updates tab of the task. When work is complete select “stop timer”. This will import your time worked directly into TMetric.
In the updates tab you can comment. This is where you will ask questions or provide updates. You should start a new thread whenever it’s about a different question or update. This way we can keep the various discussion points limited to their own threads and keep it organized.
