Project Management

In the video you see "How to plan a camping trip". Now imagine hundreds of small teams coordinating via the wiki.

People

• Marc Laporte (I think PM is more a Use Case & profile than a feature)
• Mike Kerr (kerrnel22)
• Régis Barondeau
• Bernard TREMBLAY (Trebly as id known or BTy to be short for sign) project manager and consultant on project management since a long.... time
• sylvieg
• and you ?

TikiWiki already can be used for wiki-based project management using trackers wiki categories and watch. But there is still many ways to make it a better tool.

To do

• Make http://profiles.tikiwiki.org/Project_Management

Missing

• Tracker plugin to get title and make link to tracker item
• Timesheet with time tracking (stopwatch)
• Schedule planner
• Task/action markup for meeting notes and plans (like Twiki Action Tracker Plugin)
• In / out board
• Gantt Charts
• Developpers profiles and roles (as community builder)
• Resource planning (Could be done via calendar and trackers)

Ideas

• Use the http://www.taskjuggler.org engine and put a tiki front end on it.
• http://openproj.org/ offers an open source MS Project compatible tool and they do have a web frontend with SaaS offerings. Maybe can we reuse their engine.
• http://clockingit.com open source engine can eventually inspire some functions such as the great time tracker.
• http://demo.ideatorrent.org/ can also inspire idea brain storm and voting aspects
• If it can be done according to the PMBOK Processes it will be more suitable to match the international PMBOK standards. PMBOK stands for Project Management Body of Knowledge. See PMBOK Resume online

Ideas for better group management:

1. http://doc.tikiwiki.org/Module+Users_List + wikiplugin_subscribegroup
2. Adding relationships between tracker items and/or tasks (for use in a Gantt chart)

[''kerrnel22: While the trackers still have untapped potential (eg. basic reporting) it is my hope that we don't develop it into a workflow model thereby having redundant features. Trackers can and should have some integration with the workflow and I maintain that the workflow feature is the way to go here...project management is just another layer of abstraction needed in the workflow core once the base issues are resolved. Let's try not to shoehorn a Doc Martin into a Nike...]

Note from kerrnel22: It is my hope that the Workflow Manager (Galaxia) morph into something from which project management metrics and structure can be integrated. I'd rather integrate it into something we already have than write a whole new tracker system for PM. marclaporte: +1
