I'm comfortable ruling the graphic design of project management tools
out of scope for this list :-)
Thanks,

The comments lack dates, but I am pretty sure the first ones are close to a
decade old. The most recent are probably from the last year.

Subject: Re: [Discuss] Tools for managing future project pipeline...
Dude... I'd be happy if I could just keep track of the conversation,
never mind probabilities... But if anyone does know, it's become very
relevant to Software Carpentry's future as well - pointers would be very
welcome.
Thanks,

Hi all,
So, here in UCL Research IT, we’ve got a growing pipeline of future
research programming collaborations, both free and paid, both research
council funded and paid consulting,
and both already won and waiting for peer review.
Our ability to manage all of this is scaling beyond simple spreadsheets… I
feel that we ought to be using our data-science-fu to help on the
management side here...
Does anyone on this list have any advice about tooling that can be used to
model a pipeline of research grants and consulting projects?
Ideally, with probabilistic modelling of expected and upper and lower
bound future grant income following assignment of probabilities of success
to proposals, and similar
modelling of staff availability, recruitment delays etc…
Ideally either a FOSS solution I can install or a subscription cloud-based
service. I want to avoid anything with either a very "Enterprise IT” or an
old-style public sector IT feel!
I’m aware that there are quite a lot of people interested in collaborative
research support and Team Science on this list, and setting up data
science/research software
institutes etc, so others here have probably encountered the same problem.
Happy to take this topic by direct mail off-list as it’s skirting the edge
of on-topic-ness. Greg to decide...
