Classically there are three factors: Time Quality Cost. Since you can't usually have it all a common approach is: Pick Two This doesn't mean the 'third' item is completely ignored. Rather it just tries to emphasize what is most important. This is also a great interview question to ask. Just be aware that the answers are usually indirect and ...

Project management is project management, whether for software, construction, making movies, putting on plays, or anything else. Software developers (I am one) are always thinking "but my world is different" when it comes to project management, and looking for the magic bullet software tool that will make it work. There isn't one. Learn and understand the ...

In programming projects it's all about getting the right quality from the start. If you start quick and dirty you end up loosing all your time fixing it later. So when you do every little piece of work in the right quality from the very beginning, you spend your time both doing quantity and quality. You have to write the lines of code to make the programm ...

Since it seems like you have formed a group in where there is minimal overlap of responsibilities and projects, your best bet would be to utilize SCRUM-like brief meetings, and highlight issues raised and resolved. Unfortunately, unrelated subjects may be harder to grasp for others in the group. You could look into creating a Wikia to use as a knowledge base ...

What you can do is take inspiration from methodologies like Personal Kanban, and use boards to display your progress to each other. The primary purpose of agile is to move away from the traditional waterfall model used in software development projects and increase project transparency and facilitate communication among project members. As such, agile is ...

It seems like you need a relatively simple program that is completely tailored to what you want it do to. Don't we all? ;-) I would thus suggest either programming it yourself (if you are a little proficient in any programming language it should take very little time because it is so simple), or asking someone you know to program it for you.

I have used a LOT of these systems - Track, Trello, Jira , MS Project and the like. For me, one clearly stands above the rest: Pivotal Tracker I consider it to have met my personal bar by being so neat I started using it for my own personal web sites and projects, just as a great and quick and easy way to stuff all my idea, bugs and chores. I like it ...

I recently moved my project management from Trello and FogBugz to JetBrains YouTrack and TeamCity. The primary reason for the switch-over was a lack of integration between the daily workflow (Trello) and the long-term planning (Fogbugz). YouTrack handles feature and bug tracking with built-in support for Scrum and Kanban workflows (Kanban is essentially the ...

FogBugz by Fog Creek (also the makers of Trello) is great. At the heart it FogBugz is a bug/issue tracking tool. However, because software project management deals with managing LOTS of tasks (you can think of each function/feature as a task) you can use FogBugz to help you manage these tasks. (Actually they've added many features that aids in project ...
