Talk:Project management software

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have added PSNext which is a legitimate web-based PM software tool. Please do not remove Viking67 08:36, 15 January 2007 (UTC) What about consumer level and products for Macintosh. I know Fast Track Schedule 8 is cross platform, although it may also start with the Gantt Chart (I am not sure). Also, what about the PowerCards application for Macintosh?

"Problems with project management software" section sounds very NPOV.

[edit] Selecting project management software

Perhaps someone could write this section into the article -- it was marked as template:sect-stub before, and I'm not quite sure whether it describes a particular piece of software -- is it copied from a program's feature-list or something?

  • large developer group: >5 members
  • large user group
  • both online(web-based) and offline(local machine) work model
  • multiuser, multigroup, multiproject,multilingual
  • recurring tasks support: example: monthly task define
  • To track multiple projects and innumerable small tasks
    • tasks and their dependencies: multiple dependencies: n to n dependence.
    • Gantt graph
    • Tree view for project and nested tasks and subtasks
    • Task completion statistics: status reports
    • archived projects/tasks
    • project calendars & reminder
  • resource management
    • resource constrains
    • resource usage tables
    • project accounting statements
  • extensible: easy to add new components or be plugged into existing components
    • bugtracker
    • email notification
    • forums
    • wikis


Probabilistic Project Planning I would love to get information on this topic. Even as far back as 20 years ago. Project planning using CPM and PERT was advanced with probabilitistic project planning. Using such an approach, the choice between two or more alternative routes could be planned based on probaility of completion or sucess of individual tasks. This approach allows all possible paths to completion to be included a project plan from the outset, but only one path to be probabalistically "best and being executed" at any point in time. Furthermore, the path may change at any time that revised projections show a probabilistically better path. This avoids creating and mantaining separate project plans for the same project.

[edit] There are two different pages on the same subject of Software Project Management

Here are the URLs:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_management_software

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_project_management

Please will someone expert on the subject merge these two pages into one?

One article is about software used to track projects, the other is about the process of tracking software development activities. They're completely different concepts, and share only the same three words in the title. Am I missing something? Kuru talk 01:19, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

You're perfectly right, my fault. It was probably due to my poor English. FabioDeFrancesco 22:58, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Absolutely not a problem! Glad I could help. :) Kuru talk 01:20, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Interactive Gantt Chart.jpg

Image:Interactive Gantt Chart.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
