Project Management Software localization

Project Management software will be based on bases of project management standards both PRINCE2 and PMI and compliance to ICO9001. This is Open Source project and based on involvement of Corporates investment to finance localication and be shared within community for free. It will be Open Source web based software and might be one stand alone software.


Basic requirements for web applications:


  • Can be accessed from any type of computer without installing software
  • Ease of access-control
  • Naturally multi-user
  • Only one software version and installation to maintain
  • Typically slower to respond than desktop applications
  • Project information not available when the user (or server) is offline.
  • Some packages do allow the user to "go-offline"

Collaborative


A collaborative system is designed to support multiple users modifying different sections of the plan at once, for example, updating the areas they personally are responsible for such that those estimates get integrated into the overall plan. Web-based tools, including extranets, generally fall into this category, but have the limitation that they can only be used when the user has live Internet access. To address this limitation, client-server-based software tools exist that provide a Rich Client that runs on users' desktop computer and replicate project and task information to other project team members through a central server when users connect periodically to the network and other tasks. Some tools allow team members to check out their schedules (and others' as read only) to work on them while not on the network. When reconnecting to the database, any changes are synchronized with the other schedules.

Integrated

An integrated system combines project management or project planning, with many other aspects of company life. For example, projects can have bug tracking issues assigned to each project, the list of project customers becomes a customer relationship management module, and each person on the project plan has their own task lists, calendars, and messaging functionality associated with their projects.

Similarly, specialised tools like SourceForge integrate project management software with source control (CVS) software and bug-tracking software, so that each piece of information can be integrated into the same system.

dotproject

dotProject is a volunteer supported Project Management application. There is no "company" behind this project, it is managed, maintained, developed and supported by a volunteer group and by the users themselves.

For more about the product, what it does, etc please follow the links to the doc site at the top of site.

The software is free to anyone who would like to download it. Day to day support is provided free by volunteers.

If you would like to see the system in operation - use the Demo link in the modules list to the left top of the site.

If you would like to download the package use the downloads link on the top right. Please be aware that the CVS snapshot is guaranteed to be UNSTABLE and should not be used on a production site or if you are not willing to have to do some work at the code level.

If you are looking for support, to ask a question or to check to see if issues have been raised by others - use the support link at the top right to access our support forums. PLEASE do not send Private Messages to the site admins or other participants on the site - this just means that you are trying to jump the priority queue, that any answers you received are selfishly then not shared with the rest of the user community OR that you may ask the wrong person who cannot help you. Priority Support is available at a cost - login to the support forums and use your UserCP from there to Subscription details and pricing.

If you have a bug or a Feature Suggestion that you would like to log - use the bugs link at the top right of the site. PLEASE check that the issue hasn't been logged before to save your hardworking admin a lot of time and trouble. Mantis has recently been updated to include multiple projects - use the drop down list at the top right hand side of the screen in the bug tracker to select the correct project as per the news article on the front of the Bugs and Suggestions system.

If you are looking for documentation, hints and tips - please use the doc site link at the top right. Please DO NOT use comments either here or on the documentation site, to ask questions or raise issues - the chances of anybody finding your comment are pretty remote because that's what the forums are for.
