How to schedule Monster Corps Tasks

This is the general methodology. Some folks will have customizations.

This is done on the 4th day before month-end. Hopefully, after folks have submitted their availability.

  1. Screen through the current set of tasks for any auto-generated tasks that need to be tagged for the new month. Update the tags, removing names and the non-relevant months
  2. Screen through all of the undone tasks and follow-up with the monster corps members
  3. Screen through the projects and tag all the priority tasks for the next month. This may include tasks that were not resourced the previous month.
  4. Next, review the availability sheet and update the accounts for all the Monster Corps members that filled it out. This is done in WordPress
  5. Then, assign the months tasks to the Monster Corps members, matching:
    • affinity and skills
    • Availability
    • Org needs

This task takes about 8 hours to complete. It is best done in 1-2 sessions but not more. Another 4-hour session of tasks assignments is usually done the first or second week of the new month.
