Sparxsystems Enterprise Architect and issuses/tasks tracking system?

Question

We (developement team 4 upto 7 people) use Sparxsystems EA for requirement analysis, modeling etc. Do you know any well-working methods to use EA and some task/issue tracking system like Redmine/Mantis/Trac ?

The problem is not to duplicate functionality (there are issues/tasks/changes in Redmine and EA) but to have some user friendly interface (preffered web) to manage tasks and issues.

By user-friendly I mean

• "my tasks" page
• add effort / time tracking
• easy "add issue" by everyone (simple bug tracking system)
• mail notifications

Answer 1

I usually use Excel and have it formatted for loading into EA. This works when the groups your dealing with are small and almost everyone has it. It's low tech solution. I've also used QC for issue tracking where the requirements are loaded from EQ into QC and you can unload the issues from QC and load them into EA.

I recommend MANEA - http://www.manea.info
