Project management

Project managing, managing expectations

They are like me when i started out as a project manager, no idea of what the project involves or what value it provides.

It's up to you to show them that value.

It's very important that you not let anything get to you as a PM.

Have to be very clear that custom code has to be reported.

"How much Drupal do you feel you have to know? Our project managers want to know Drupal but they don't want to build sites. How much about Drupal, about development, do project managers have to know?"

We started with picking up copies of "Using Drupal".

Project Management and Time Tracking in Drupal

Agaric (planned) Timetracking and Invoice System

Dan's listing:

  • Task
  • Estimated
  • Start
  • Estimated
  • Finish
  • Estimated Hours
  • Actual Start
  • Actual Finish
  • Total Billable Hours

My refinement:
* time spent (billable, reported as comped, not reported)

Agaric time: it's all nodes
which is a ridiculously heavy way to store this information, but so what
it's the Drupal way!
or at least the Agaric way

WHAT:

Music Web Sites and Disciplined Anti-authoritanism

The Agaric Design Collective has several music artists asking us to do web sites for them, so we did our due dilligence and surfed the web for fun and profit.

What we came up with is musician and web designer Scott Andrew's simple but to the point site and his wide ranging essay on how to promote your own music, ""

He recommended networking on http://www.garageband.com/ and MySpace

Project Management in Drupal

Agaric wants awesome project managing tools of, by, and for Drupal, ideally incorporating Getting Things Done principles.

The one Drupal uses -- tied to CVS?
