Activities & Milestones in Amp Impact
...
Navigate to the “Activities”, “Project Plan”, or similar section of your Project and select an Implementation Plan (or multiple Implementation Plans) from the picklist. Click on “Add New Activity” and then click on the “Create Task” option to add a Task to an Implementation Plan.
Fill out the details for the Activity record, such as the “Activity Name”, “Type”, “Description”, “Activity Information”, “Location” and “Status”.
Filling out the “Parent Activity” field allows you to build a hierarchy of Activities to track related Activities.
All the sub-activities appear beneath the Parent Activity within the Activity Table. A chevron associated with the Parent Activity enables you to hide and display and hide all the sub-activities.
To remove parent-child relationships, click on “Edit” for the child Activity and remove the parent relationship.
The date values in the “Planned Start Date” and “Planned End Date” as well as the “Actual Start Date” and “Actual End Date” fields determine how the timeline bars appear on the Activity Gantt Chart:
If both Start and End Dates are filled out, a horizontal timeline bar will appear on the Gantt Chart;
If either the Start or End Date is filled out then a tick representing the date will appear on the Gantt Chart.
The Baseline bar that showcases the duration between “Planned Start Date” and “Planned End Date” will only appear if you click on the “Display Baseline” button. Refer to the Edit Activity section for more details.
To track any stakeholders who are responsible for completing or contributing to an Activity, fill out the “Contact” field. Organizations often rename this field to something like “Responsible” but this relationship essentially tracks people related to Activities. Note that the relevant record (e.g. a Contact record) must be created first before an Activity can be related to that record.
Activities can be related to multiple Project Indicators and Framework Objectives. This allows organizations to track their progress toward their goals and helps them track how the Project Activities will ultimately contribute to their impact.
Only Framework Objectives and Project Indicators associated with the current Project are displayed in the picklist of options.
Framework Objective options are limited to the Framework related to your Implementation Plan record. However, if no Framework is related to the Implementation Plan level, all the Objectives in your system will be available.
Click “Save” to create the Activity record.
