Subject: [taskjuggler] entering project progress into schedule...

Hi, I just picked TJ up from the SuSE 8.2 distro and have thus far found it an ideal fit for my scheduling needs...

But now that my project has begun making progress I'm wondering just how I should express the completion of tasks in my tjp file.

Here's an example task:

  task prioritization "Finer-Grained Prioritization" {
    task requirements "Gather Requirements" {
      ${allocate_developers}
      effort 2d
      actualend 2003-08-26
      depends mstones.bman.start
    }
    task design "Design, DB Schema" {
      ${allocate_developers}
      effort 3d
      depends mstones.bman.start
    }
    task implement "Implement" {
      ${allocate_developers}
      effort 3d
      depends mstones.bman.start
    }
  }

I completed the first sub-task last friday and the second on tuesday. The natural thing to enter seems 'actualend', but I get a warning/error when I do that:

> schedule.tjp:75: Task develop.prioritization.requirements
> has a start, an end and a duration specification for
> actual scenario.

I can enter an actualeffort, but usually have to guess at a couple values until I get the correct finish time/date.

Is there a simpler way to express "it was finished on tuesday" in this case? What would you suggest using here?

Thanks much!
