We're having trouble incorporating certain types of tasks into our product and sprint backlogs: Meetings with clients Training and knowledge-sharing Administrative tasks Some of these aren't directly related to the project, so it's easy to put them aside and refer to them as administrative overhead (thereby reducing the doable story ...
Hello, Do you need a project management system if you work alone? I mean a project management system that includes issue tracking, wiki, etc. Currently I keep my issues in a very good organizer software and I keep project documentation in Word files (and of course I have a version control system), so I am not really sure if I need a proj...
Howdy there. I'm putting together a new software team and I'm looking at different tools that overcome previous nightmares I've had with other teams. Over the last 5-6 years these are some transitions I've gone thru: SourceControl: CVS => VSS => SVN Project Management, Bug and Issue Tracking: Paper => PostIt Notes => OneNote ...
I'm looking for some effective and freely available templates for software/product requirements documents (PRDs). Anyone know of any good resources? Thanks, Yarin ...
I'm looking for an open-source project management and issue-tracking tool with features similar to Fogbugz, well, specifically with a clean, easy to use UI. I've been looking around but can't seem to find a similar tool. Has anyone got any suggestions? Thanks EDIT: I've just seen OpenAtrium - has anyone any experience of using it. ...
I currently have a single solution that contains both the one application developed so far and projects for all of the homegrown libraries. This entire solution is also kept in a single Git repo. I am now going to be developing a second application that will make use of those same libraries. That application will have different releas...
What I mean is if I am breaking a programming project estimate down into tasks as much as possible would there be a good maximum to make the tasks. Meaning if I say the max is 4-6 then if any task is more hours than that it needs to be broken down into more tasks. I feel like there is a point where this becomes not much more useful thoug...
This is giving me major headaches! I'm having trouble even describing the problem in words. Basically, I want to be able to manage a core library (coreLib) of Actionscript classes with the following requirements: latest version is checked out when a new project starts. a dev can make changes to the coreLib and then commit them back in...
Hi ! After struggling a bit to install it on a shared hosting, I finally discovered the power of redmine. I must say I'm pretty impressed. However I'm a beginner, and stumbling into the manual and the forums didn't help much for what I'm trying to do, so I ask here. PLease forgive me if it's already addressed somewhere We are doing a s...
I maintain an Open Source Android app. Every once in a while, some anonymous hero localizes to its mother tongue, sending files or using our online tool. At first I thought the magic of collaboration would be enough to provide timely localizations, but actually, the UI strings change, and each release ships with roughly: 5 languages l...
I am working on a job where we are developing a set of cross-platform applications using C++, Qt, and CMake (among other things). On the Mac we run into the problem that we need to package all of our shared libraries into each .app (currently there are 4 of them), which causes the size of the download and install to get large fairly rapi...
Hi there, I'm searching a software (web-based, php/mysql) that allows users to (anonymously/with registering) write suggestions or ideas on a project. The project itself does not necessarily have to be software-related, I also want to use it for some IRL projects I'm working on, but that may well need some suggestions from the people in...
Hi, I have a task assigned to me but I am not a project manager. Doh. So here is the problem. Imagine that you have 100 tasks which should be done in 1 year. So we want to do 5 or six releases during this year. Our team is small, about 10 people. Now we go trough all the tasks and mark 15 of them for example to be released in 2 months. B...
Hi. I has been a C++ and Python developer for a looong time, and after this many years the place I feel most comfortable for developing is the old good gvim and the command line. I was wondering if there is some sort of tool for setting up projects quickly. Something like generating a bunch of files where a few things can change their va...
I have started an C++ SFML project for linux. I was wondering where the .so's should go. Should they go inside the project folder so a user can simply run the program after they get it? Or should the user have the SFML library installed on there linux machine before they run my program? ...
I am looking for possibly a study between the time difference of regular coding vs coding + unit tests (not strict TDD just yet). I know the whole "Saves you time in the long run" angle, but from a project planning perspective for the team that has never done it before, I need to be able to roughly estimate how much additional time to al...
We are using Bugzilla for tracking of the bugs. We want to use addons for task tracking and for project management. There are a lot of addons for this purpose. Can any one please suggest the good addons for this purpose. Also let us know any other addons that you know are good. ...
Hello all, I am going to ask you this question here since I cannot find answer anywhere else. Sorry if its stupid. I have created one additional Category: "Programming" Then two projects: "Project #1" and "Project #2" (both public) I also have two developer accounts and I am trying to assign Project 1 to first guy and Project 2 to a ...
One of my web apps has grown over the past few months from a single project file to include several class libraries. The svn structure has sort of grown organically and looks something like this: repository-root site1 trunk tags site2 trunk tags library1 trunk tags ...
I'm the sole developer working on a couple of webapp sites. I have them in subversion, but I'm not using a project management tool. I recently got redmine up and going, and I want to set up the projects in there. What I'm looking for is a recommendation as to how to structure these two projects in Redmine. From what I can glean, the st...
