Add all the people and then go a third whole step as if number 1 of setting up the project was not already 20 hours work in some cases but now we need to kick a message that says something as simple as:

Ok folks ABC project page is set up.

I mean ok, I can live with that but I am really struggling that if a project is assigned to a lead developer, a project manager and a designer than when a new ticket comes in from the client it does not notify all the "people" assigned.

Internal communication is easy to "work around" but having to login every 10 minutes to see if a client has posted anything is hard.

Hi everyone,

Project goals are described on overview page. I'll have all tasks posted and assigned by the end of the day.

That's about it for now. Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.


It is a workaround, but I like it more than simple notification. Instead of just letting your team know about the project you are asking them to participate in a discussion. This is a good thing in most cases.

When we create a new project and add all people we create an introduction discussion and notify all people. This works pretty well for us.

Shouldn't they receive a notification email about this?
