We have different steps in our planning for online webprojects: 1) Information Architecture Provides user stories Provides wireframes 2) Design Use Wireframes to develop a nice design 3) Development 4) Testing I know that working agile asks for dedicated teams. But it is impossible to have a dedicted IA until the end of the pr...
I would like to setup an open source solution for calendaring in a medium sized enterprise. We would be using this from thunderbird (lightning add-on), Microsoft outlook. I want to see others' free/busy schedule, invite them to meetings etc. It would be really nice if I could have a calendar for resources like conference room, projector...
I am looking to evaluate a two tools. I am looking for a resource scheduling tool, which we need to use to schedule time on different lab equipment, and a bug tracking tool, which is for internal use to track bugs (obviously). I was wondering if there is a tool that combines the two tools. Also, with regards to the bug tracking softwa...
OK... Im coming to grips with the fact that MS Project 2007 may not be the correct tool for my production scheduling. We serve 120 to 150 projects a year with durations from 6 weeks to 12 months. The task are simple (6 to 8 per project) and the resource pool is stable (15 to 20 people). It's really an assembly line product but with ...
A software application that I'm working on needs to be able to assign tasks to a group of users based on how many tasks they presently have, where the users with the fewest tasks are the most likely to get the next task. However, the current task load should be treated as a weighting, rather than an absolute order definition. IOW, I need...
Hi Guys, My first post here – hoping you can help me with designing an algorithm that I’ve been considering for a little while now – not sure what approach to take (VRPTW or resource scheduling or something else entirely!?) To put it into a real word example, we have a whole lot of garden waste at a small number of locations (usually le...
I searched through here as best I could and though I found some relevant questions, I don't think they covered the question at hand: Assume a single resource and a known list of requests to schedule a task. Each request includes a start_after, start_by, expected_duration, and action. The goal is to schedule the tasks for execution as s...
I know there are some scheduling problems out there that are NP-hard/NP-complete ... however, none of them are stated in such a way to show this situation is also NP. If you have a set of tasks constrained to a startAfter, startBy, and duration all trying to use a single resource ... can you resolve a schedule or identify that it cannot...
I'm working on a Java application which should allow users to optimize their daily schedule. For that, I need a framework that helps calculate optimal times for "tasks" taking note of: Required resources and resource usage limits Dependencies between tasks (can do with only F->S relations though) Earliest and latest start-finish times,...
