TMGR: Team Members Cannot Create & Send Goals to Team Manager (160338)

SUMMARY

Microsoft Team Manager for Team Members does not have a facility to allow team members to create their own goals and send them to the team manager for automatic incorporation into the team plan.

MORE INFORMATION

Goals must be entered directly into the team file using Microsoft Team Manager and cannot be automatically incorporated from update messages from team members. The manager enters a list of goals for team members using the Performance Goals view on the People tab. The Goal Properties button can be used to attach overall and task-specific notes and ratings to each goal. Associating tasks with goals is optional.

If a team member needs to create performance goals, he/she can enter the goals and associated notes and tasks in an ordinary e-mail message and send them to the team manager, who manually enters (or copies and pastes) them into the team member's performance goal list and associated notes areas in the team file.

NOTE: Team members can use the Team Status viewer (by clicking the View Team Status button in Microsoft Team Manager for Team Members) to see the tasks in the team file that they are assigned to.
