SJ, Neil and Quim, thanks wholeheartedly for all your answers, I think that removes most of the fears that I had. Although I must say it feels a bit unconventional since I haven´t figured out yet how to do scheduling, process flow, and other standard non-coding project management tasks in Phabricator. When compared with standard tools like MS Project, on the Project Planning Properties realm Phabricator seems to be lacking many features; http://project-management.zone/system/microsoft-project,phabricator
I guess I will start trying and learning to see how far I can get with it. It doesn´t need to be complex in order to be effective.
