Plan on hold best practice
So I have a bunch of plans as sub plans within a master plan to be able to share resources and track workload. Of course, some of these plans are in a waiting state du to client response times and I would like to keep them in the master plan just as a reminder that they will soon (ish) create a work load again. Is there a "best practices" way in MS project to put a project "on hold" and keep the reminder floating along with the current date over the Gannt view? As I have done it now with a quick fix is to have a milestone as a movable reminder that the project is currently in a client response time state but it doesnt feel sexy... |

If the project has been begun, I would update progress on the tasks. Then use the Update Project command to move any remaining work on the project to when you think it is reasonable for the client to get back to you.
If the project is not underway - just change the start date of the project to keep pushing it out. Not sure if either qualifies as "sexy".... but there you have it. |

Thanks Julie, thats how I am doing it right now, with the small exeption that I have milestones to indicate a theoretical client feedback. Our projects mainly consists of producing a document and then deliver that to the client for review. Sometimes they want to revise, sometimes not.
I was looking for that "sexy" do-not-forget-me auto notification on a project that is "on-hold" but I suspect thats another tool Thanks again! |

Yes, sorry. There is no "do-not-forget-me" notification in project. You can set deadlines - and if the tasks slip past the deadline, you'll get the flag in the Indicators column - but if you don't update the tasks - no notification
