[Talk-ht] Need Help Managing Mapping Requests

[Jean-Guilhem Cailton]

Mikel,

Have you seen the shared Project Management spreadsheet ? :
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0An_LB2U4zHBzdFRNR3dGczQycnZUcTJ6S2JjZ1o2dGc&hl=en

Maybe, it could be used for "self-ticketing", given, for a good start 
for mapping, a good example of "Mapping Breakdown Structure" :) ? Maybe 
both in Product Breakdown Structure, and Work Breakdown Structure ? With 
"Who" (in OBS) then taking charge of the work in the corresponding cells.

Register by typing your name in the cell. And split a cell, going down 
one level in the hierarchy, when someone comes along to help. And insert 
lines below when more people come to help. Fairly simple and flexible no ?
