Prerequisites completion status
Status and Priority Information:
Project and task status is retrieved through has_status relations
Valid status values include: inactive, active, complete
Task priority is retrieved through has_priority relations
Valid priority values include: high, low
This information helps you prioritize your project management activities
Sequential Task Management:
Tasks are presented in their logical sequence based on precedes relations
Prerequisite tasks must be completed before dependent tasks can begin
The sequential view helps identify the next logical actions in project workflows
Critical path tasks are highlighted to show dependencies affecting project timelines
Session Workflow:
Start a project management session with startsession
Review the provided context to decide what to focus on
Use loadcontext to retrieve detailed information about specific projects
Conduct your project management work, adding new elements with buildcontext as needed
End the session when work is complete
Record progress, decisions, and next steps
You should:
Begin each focused project management period with startsession
Review recent sessions to maintain continuity in your work
Prioritize work based on high-priority tasks and upcoming milestones
Address projects with poor health indicators
Mitigate high-severity risks promptly
Focus on tasks that are next in sequence based on precedes relations
Complete prerequisite tasks to unblock dependent tasks
Check entity status to identify active work items
Use the session ID when using other tools to maintain session tracking
Establish a regular cadence of project management sessions
Use the structured overview to make deliberate choices about where to focus your effort
Consider creating or updating project entities after reviewing the current state
Follow up on projects with approaching deadlines
