project-management

I am working alone at the beginning of a sizable open source project and would like to leverage some of the core ideas/methods from Scrum to help manage my time and remain focused on development and deploying early, demonstrable functionality. I would like to hear from others who have used Scrum alone and what you have found particularly useful to these ends. Thanks. You might take a look at Peter Bell's post on Solo Scrum including the comments. If you're after solo, focusing timeboxes, try the pomodoro technique - 25 mins doing stuff, 5 mins reflection. There's a great free app here: http:/

We user JIRA for bug tracking and release management and we have started using greenhopper for project management inside of JIRA but one thing that it lacks is the idea of user stories versus tasks in those users stories. Does anyone recommend other task board like agile project management tools that fully support users stories and tasks as well as being fast and simple to user. I started looking at targetprocess so if anyone has feedback on that specifically it would be great as well. TargetProcess is the least intrusive project mgmt tool I've used. A common anti-pattern for Scrum and XP

I know there are some questions already regarding Plastic SCM, but they are over a year old. Has anyone used Plastic SCM lately? What do you think about it. I have used git, and I am currently using Hg. I love the Hg source control, but Visual Studio integration is not great, and related task/project management tools have not been great. Plastic SCM was recommended, but I like to get a community view on it. - And no, I don't care about grammar on the website. I prefer well engineered solutions to well marketed websites. Yes, we use Plastic SCM (small team of 5) for 2 years already and it works

Me and my friend started working together as partners , we have decided to make Kick-as* website after website. We have the ideas written down like 100's of them (yes we are choosing best and easy among them first). My friend does the layout design and arranging things , and my part is coding and server management. The little problem i am facing is lack of experience in planing a project. What i do is, I just start the code straight away and along with code I make DB, like when i need a table i make it. I know this is very bad approach for a medium sized project. Here at stackoverflow i saw

I tried using Visual Studio instead of VIM(+plugins), but to be honest - the only advantage of VS over VIM is it's ability to automatically manage my project. I know of existence of ViEmu for VS, but I would like to do the opposite - is there any way to manage projects from within VIM? I tried both c.vim plugin and Project plugins, but: I have a problem while using c.vim on windows

One of our developers is continually writing code and putting it into version control without testing it. The quality of our code is suffering as a result. Besides getting rid of the developer, how can I solve this problem? EDIT I have talked to him about it number of times and even given him written warning Martin Pilot If you systematically perform code reviews before allowing a developer to commit the code, well, your problem is mostly solved. But this doesn't seem to be your case, so this is what I recommend: Talk to the developer. Discuss the consequences for others in the team. Most
