In search of the best project management system
nirav March 27th, 2007
Over the last 8 years, we have used various systems to manage our software development projects. From paper sheets, to diaries, to home grown task and calendar systems, to activeCollab, to Wikis, to various other things in between. Nothing has worked as desired! As Magnet has grown, we have faced a variety of issues with our project management systems - insufficient or too much details, resistance from the team, chaos once the system has grown etc. So we are setting out (again!) to find out the best project management solution for us. We are tilting towards building our own system, but are looking at various options again to find out what will work best.
- Simple - for the developers, managers, clients, QA, marketing
- Accessible - easy to bring up the app and use it
- Shared - team usage, collaboration, integration with other tools
- Process Adherence - automation as much as possible, workflow templates
- Reminders, Followup - automatic, Escalation
- Email / Thunderbird / Sunbird / iCal Integration
You may be using some project management system. What has your experience been with such? Any recommendations?
