What would really help me is a feature that calculates and shows the number of days outstanding that a task hasn't been responded to or worked. From a project management point of view, when I send out tasks to the team, I would like some indication of how long its taking for that task to be worked, even if its morphed into a calendar event then back to a task or then into a reference note. It would be particularly useful to then have a view that pulled up items based upon days outstanding, either as a collection of days, ie 2 days, one week, one month sort of thing or a real distribution of what's outstanding.

One way to view these days outstanding items would be to have a "jeopardy view", an "everythings ok" view and a "missed due dates" view. The jeopardy view would show all items that are approaching their milestone date, ie one day before. then we could sort what's needed to be done and get onto those items which will miss their milestone due dates unless action is taken. Somehow, I need to have a way of knowing which items are becoming critical due to days outstanding or an approaching milestone so that I can better triage them.
