Almost every project team is tracking project issues and tasks in excel. Well now you can quickly turn those excel files into Vuuch pages and activities. In case you are not fully up to speed on da Vuuch terminology here are two important things to understand:
- Vuuch Pages:A Vuuch Page represents something you and/or the team cares about. It could be nothing more than a simple list (Things I got to do) or a group of issues you need to address (Bugs I am working on) or a file that you are trying to complete (For example a CAD file or maybe a budget in Excel) or some component of your product (The Base_Unit). Vuuch Pages collect Vuuch activities as well additional information about the thing the page represents. Since Vuuch Pages represent the things the team is delivering and therefore in your excel file these are either grouped together using a colomn or Excel tabs.
- Vuuch Activities:A Vuuch Activity is a threaded discussion that can be classified as an Issue, Task or Discussion. Vuuch Activities represent the line items in your project spreadsheet and therefore they have a status (Red, Yellow, Green or On Hold) and participants, an owner and a due date.
Now that you have a basic understanding lets look at how you can convert your project excel file to Vuuch pages and Vuuch activities. Take a look at the video below and you will see how simple this is.
All you do is reform the spreadsheet based on the Vuuch terminology, save it as a Excel 2003 file and then import it. Done. You now have Vuuch pages and activities created.
