In the Follow up section, the first menu is "Real work allocation".
It should be renamed "Actual work done", and placed in the fourth position.

1. Justification for the renaming:
  1. The PMI uses the word "Actual" (not "real"), in its metrics.
  2. The dictionary meaning of the word "allocation" is "The act of distributing by allotting or apportioning; distribution according to a plan." Thus "allocation" is a supervisory task, not to be done by the resource.

Traditionally, this activity is also called a timesheet. So it could also be renamed as "Timesheet".

2. Justification for shifting this in the menu

Any menu should be arranged in the order of its use.

The resources can fill up their timesheets only after the project is fully planned and its execution starts.
The Resource planning goes hand in hand with the project planning.

Therefore, the menu items are needed in this order:
1. Planning
2. Project portfolio
3. Resource planning
4. Timesheet

And so, these menus should be placed in that same order!

1) Renaming "Real work allocation" ?
Why not ...
But not sure "Timesheet" is the best candidate.
Also, even if PMI uses term Actual, it is important to use PROJEQTOR terms (PropjeQtOr is not linked to any referential or method, so it's important to use non oriented terms that most users will understand)
And the term "Allocation" is not so bad... "distribution according to a plan" fits the use : "distribution of real work according to a plan"... yes, not so bad.

@everybody : Any proposal will be welcome.


2) Moving menu
No real need and will be a mess for long time users...
Items are not placed depending on order of use, but on frequency of use...
