Issue trackers
-
I've used a zillion issue trackers and project management systems and always, without fail, come back to using Excel or even just notepad. This is ridiculous given all the info I could be tracking that could (and should) be helping me. Instead of asking what issue tracker or PM software you use, I was wondering what features you really rely on to get the job done. For me its: - Speed - Simplicity - Multiuser, multi-project - Drag and drop stuff / minimum clicks. Be as fast to modify as Notepad or Excel - Track priorities, status, assignees, due dates, milestones - Roll up of values (eg add all the time estimates for child items and show it on the parent) - Email alerts - free form comments within each item - uploads of screenshots or docs - tie into source code control What do the guys who actually do this stuff properly find the most important?

Another question: would built-in support for agile development be useful or is that a nice-to-have? Thanks, /ravi

Also, is meta-data customization (e.g. priority level definitions, workflows) a must-have or a nice-to-have? Thanks, /ravi

Very important. We chop and change our terms reasonably often.

"Terms" as in priority, severity, etc? What about workflow customization - basic, detailed or indifferent? /ravi
