which project management tools?
-
We used Screwturn wiki at my previous job, well we started to until management became too busy with expensive lunches and free sports tickets. I like it, and it was created by a fellow CPian.

this is a new position. this time i get to start applying process. hence decided to turn my head up and look further than the end of my nose :)
Ahh I see. Well I still recomend taking full advatage of TFS. I know a fraction of what it is capable of and that little bit can often impress and assist the average Manager, Developer, QA, BA, Leads etc. etc. You just have to know how to harness it.
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

Tools of course do not equal "process". Tools are used to facilitate, measure and manage some parts of process. In terms of "project management" the usefulness of that is moot unless one can break down larger tasks into smaller ones and additionally one must have some reasonable way to judge when the smaller task is complete.

If you want a wiki type solution, you could check Alfresco too, it offers a lot of options in addition to the wiki. I've looked at both of those, installed both of those, and watched the business (which cried to get them) ignore both of those and now they sit idle :mad:

we need to employ a new project management system at our work place. I have been happily using TFS / sharepoint for years now, but wanted to know of other opinions prior to making a choice of comfort. we currently have no process, all requests are still in email no central view of progress etc. some code in C# some php deployed on both Apache and win serves. eclipse and vs :( all opinions welcome

I love using JIRA and associated tools from Atlassian. Very nice, and very customizable.

We were once told that we would be employing state of the art tools on a big new project - what we didn't realise was that they were talking about the project management team!
