E-Book Overview
"Project Management" is the team approach to programming. There are many programs out there that purport to help a development team manage a project but most of them arent very good. World-renowned software guru Joel Spolskys company, FogCreek Software, has created a tool called FogBUGZ that incorporates all of Joels insight into what works and what doesnt work in project management.FogBUGZ is based on a keeping track of database of cases. At any given time, every case is assigned to one person who must resolve it or forward it to someone else. Cases can be prioritized, documented, sorted, discussed, edited, assigned, estimated, searched, and tracked. Because FogBUGZ is web-based, everyone on the team always sees the whole picture. Everything from customer feature requests, to high level design discussions, to tiny bug fix details are all instantly searchable and trackable. This book, written with the guidance of the whole FogBUGZ team, completely describes the ins and outs of the latest version of FogBUGZ which is scheduled for release simultaneously with this book.
