The Ultimate "To Do" List - Revisited

 

A basic, effective "To-Do List" will have

    • A list of tasks which need to get done

    • A way to tell who needs to perform each task

    • An indication of the status of each task

     
     

Instead of crossing out items, trying to squeeze in unreadable notations or making multiple list rewrites use Milestones Professional, and go beyond a basic 'To-Do List'. 

The following schedule shows an example of a 'To-Do List' created with Milestones Professional. All the important elements of an effective to do list are present. Milestones Professional has built in options that will let you dress up your to-do list.  By making your to do list easy on the eyes and organized, a goal oriented list maker can have more confidence that all tasks will be accomplished. 

 

This Software Handbook To Do List shows important elements in a software handbook project.
