Lotus Rock Star

For my fourth demo I am introducing QProject, which contains enhancements to the tasks and notifications in Lotus Quickr, introduces a concept of overall and cross-project status, and implements an enhanced AJAX Gantt chart for viewing tasks and their relationships to other tasks. Relationships? Yes, with QProject you can declare task predecessors and dependencies! One to one, one to many, however you like. The major features include the ability to set these dependencies, visualize them through the Gantt chart, receive consolidated overdue task notifications, and (my favorite) automatically push out dates when a predecessor is completed late. Not that this ever happens, but...

If you're wondering about other project-related features, keep in mind that we still have QIssues, QContacts, QIdeas...you get the idea. Developers will be able to take multiple design elements and assemble applications with a little work - well a heck of a lot less work than creating it from scratch! Once all our demos are done, we'll be teaching you how to do this. If you're really interested in integrating the capabilities of the templates, come see us at Collaboration University coming in just three weeks (gulp!) where we have a workshop dedicated to creating your own Lotus Quickr application, and sessions that will tear apart the templates and piece them back together.

So let's go now to the 16.5-minute QProject demo.

Don't forget - ask questions here, and check back soon for more demos. I'm on a fast track to get them all out before Lotus Quickr ships!
