EVM and Gantt chart

Added by Tiago Franco at 2011-08-03 10:18 am

Hi,

I'm an heavy user of Redmine, and I use it to manage a 7 people team with several projects. Complexity is growing and I need to work out some enhancements on the processes that we're using.

  1. EVM - I need to put Earned Value Management techniques in the process - adding CPI and SPI is a start and probably enhancing the project dashboard to show on-schedule and on-cost indicators too
  2. Gantt - I really need to put an editable Gantt into place - currently is almos impossible to replan a project

With this said, what are the opinion of the Cilli Project members regarding these features? Is it something desirable to be placed in the project plan (i.e. future features) or should I start thinking in a plugin based approach?

Thanks,
Tiago Franco

Since I've never heard of EVM, CPI, or SPI I don't think those are generic concepts that would fit in the core. A plugin approach would probably be best.

An editable Gantt would be nice to have in the core. I don't think doing it through a plugin would be the best approach so I'd recommend you create a core patch for this.

Agreed from me too ;)
