The job board
/app/jobsCreating work, assigning it, and getting it marked done by the people doing it.
Adding a job
- 1Open the Job board and fill in the form at the top.
- 2Give it a title somebody can act on. 'Verticut the practice green' beats 'greens'.
- 3Pick a category — it's what makes the reports worth reading later.
- 4Set a priority. One is 'the course suffers today if this doesn't happen'; use it sparingly or it stops meaning anything.
- 5Estimate the minutes. Guess if you have to — after a season of actuals you'll stop guessing.
- 6Optionally attach it to a zone, a crew or a person. A job with no assignee shows up as unclaimed on the board.
The three states
| State | What it means | Who sets it |
|---|---|---|
| Planned | It's on the board for a day. Nobody has started. | Whoever created it |
| Running | Someone has started. The clock on actual minutes is going. | The person doing it |
| Done | Finished, with actual minutes recorded. | The person doing it |
From the crew's side
A crew member opens the board on their phone and sees their jobs for today, largest first. One tap starts it, one tap finishes it. That's the whole interaction — anything more and it doesn't get done on a wet Tuesday.
Checklists
A job can carry a checklist. Use it for the jobs where the order matters or the new hire won't know the fifth step — bunker work, irrigation repairs, anything with a shutdown. A checklist is training that doesn't cost a supervisor's morning.
Every finished job records what it really took. After one season you can answer 'how long does it actually take us to mow greens?' with a number instead of a feeling — which is the number that wins budget arguments.
Questions
Can I copy yesterday's jobs to today?
Recurring work is best set up as a template so it appears without anyone typing. For one-offs, creating it fresh is quicker than finding and duplicating.
Somebody finished a job but forgot to mark it done.
A lead or manager can mark it done on their behalf. The record shows who marked it, so the history stays honest.
Can I delete a job that's already finished?
Yes, but consider whether you want to. Finished jobs are what your minutes-per-job history is made of, and deleting them makes next year's planning worse.
