## Send a TeamStatus Message

Monitoring project progress can be tedious, as you continually type up-to-date task information into a schedule. A more efficient way for a workgroup manager to incorporate changes into a project schedule is to exchange TeamStatus messages with workgroup members. As a workgroup manager, you can send a TeamStatus message to a workgroup member and request information about the progress of a task.

To send a TeamStatus message

1. Select the task for which you want status information.
   To get status information on several tasks, select each of the tasks.
2. On the Tools menu, point to Workgroup, and then click TeamStatus.
3. To send a request about the selected task only, click Selected task, and then click OK.
   To send a request about all the tasks in your project, click All tasks, and then click OK.
4. In the Subject box, type the subject of the status request.
5. In the message area, type your message.
6. Click Send.
   An indicator appears notifying you that you’ve sent a status request but have yet to receive a response.
