Hi all, A lot of what I wanted to relay in this note, seems like I had written (a while back) on the wiki below. Please take a look at what I did and my conclusion on this regard. https://wiki.linaro.org/Internal/People/MounirBsaibes/ProjectManagementTools
In summary, I did the following: 1) I looked at existing pm tools 2) Eliminated the ones that are not open source 3) Focused on the ones that complemented Launchpad blueprint facility (i,e. offered what Launchpad does not, for example load balancing, scheduling etc... ) 4) I was really keen on finding a good tool that supports import/export of text based files, to make it easier to transition to the new tool from Launchpad blueprints or be able to integrate with Launchpad blueprint facility. In addition, I looked briefly at Kaban, but did not focus on it, b/c I did not think we want to pay money per seat/per month. When I did this exercise, Agile was not in focus as it is now, so a lot of effort has gone on regular project management tools. Other Agile tool we could consider is Endeavour. Some additional requirement for the new tool that I have added to the spreadsheet: 1) Load balancing of resources 2) Have a good alert facility, not only when tasks are behind, but also configurable alerts for upcoming due-dates. 3) import/export of text based files (I think this one has been mentioned before), but it is important to easily transition to the new tool. 4) ability to define own queries 5) ability to define and configure own reports 6) dashboards Cheers, Mounir On Fri, May 27, 2011 at 11:27 AM, Mounir Bsaibes <[email protected]>wrote: > Vicky, > Sorry for the delay in reply. > I have a long winded reply, as I had done similar exercise, which was > focused on open source pm tools, only. > I will explain what I wad focused on, what I did and the results. > I am hoping to reply this afternoon. > regards, > Mounir > > > On Fri, May 20, 2011 at 3:10 PM, Victoria Janicki < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I've sketched out a plan for selection a Work Tracking Tool (or tool(s) if >> necessary). >> >> I've shared the Tool >> Spreadsheet<https://spreadsheets0.google.com/a/linaro.org/ccc?hl=en_US&key=tI4q1Y-iRhNfMu4iNOQysYw&hl=en_US#gid=0> >> to >> start gathering the requirements for the tool using the PM's for input. >> >> Plan: >> >> *Week of May 16th (Week 20)*: Consider this the start of the Pilots and >> Evaluations >> *Week of May 23rd (Week 21)*: Gather PM's input.
