Abstract: 
Tired of the round robin, time wasting status updates that plague your weekly project meetings? Coming up with a good project plan is only the start of the process and once you are in the thick of executing that plan it is hard to get task status from your project team. Project Server’s task status feature can help you get better, timelier status updates, right from the team members. In this session, we’ll show you how this feature works as well as introduce you to the new interface coming in Windows 8 Metro applications that will bring status updates to any windows device your team uses.
Key Learning Objectives: 
1) Review the options for providing status updates from team members in Project Server 2010
2) Best practices and implementation experiences for implimenting status updates.
3) Demonstration of task update and approval process
