Exercises

You can use one of the projects from the LYNX Demo Space - Your personal demo space in LYNX - to get started yourself with Task Management. Just invite yourself as a Task Manager, Resource, Resource Manager or Team Manager in order to have tasks populated via the My activities screen. 

If you want to invite multiple colleagues into the exercise, just create a simple project and invite them as Task Manager.  Make sure you release the project, so that the task appear on the My activities Task List. Other recommendations:

• make sure each participant has a task assigned
• assign also tasks that are not ready to start yet, in order to explain the sequence rules of the task list
