Project Management
Motivation
- (self) management: what's to do (for me)?
- transparency: what's happening?
Requirements
- track work item status and progress
- individual states, transition rules, access rights
- versions, milestones, categorisation
- group voting
- collaborate (concurrently) on workitems
- search over items and other content
- extensibility for more projects (BI, BIG EU, …)
General Approach
- use an integrated tool suite
- start with a lighttower project and with minimal number of modules
- later add necessary modules and integrate more projects (other Working Groups e.g.)
To be decided
- how much money to spend?
where to host software and data?- self-hosting
- BI server
- BIG-EU server
- commercial hoster (e.g. Google)?
- a BTL-related company
- buy hosting
- just a machine
- open-source solution on a machine
- whole (commercial) solution “in the cloud”
Steps
- Introduce a issue and workflow management tool
- use it to track CR's
