Los que merecieron estudio mas detallado
Pero AUN no los instalo, o uso screnshots o el demo-site para ver sus características. Sacrificados en segunda vuelta.
Tabla de evaluacion -->2. OPT (Outreach Project Tool) : Interesante herramienta. Tiene varias caracteristicas muy utiles como el archivo de correos de un proyecto.Tiene una buena jeraquizacion de usuarios, un newletter integrado, los informes de tiempos. La aparencia no me mata, luce algo primitivo y lo descarto por falta de dependencias y jerarquización entre tareas y/o milestones.
8. XPMT eXtreme Project Management Tool : NO se como llego tan lejos en la clasificacion. Esta mas orientada a desarrollo.
12. Achievo : Se define como un web-based resource management. Muy interesante el reporte semanal de usuario. Veo muchos usuarios y reportes, pero no se concreta en el aplicativo. Tiene tambien caracteristicas de CRM, pero no me impresiona.
15. Streber : Hijo original del netoffice, aunque se independiza de el muy temprano; esta bastante bien, muy orientado a wiki, pero carece de dos cosas fundamentales: un calendario y un diagrama de Gantt. Tiene una buena bitacora de proyecto, pero tampoco presenta dependencias entre tareas aunque si milestones.
18. phpEasyProject : NO provee un demo site. Suena bastante interesante, pero su ultima version fue publicada hace mas de un año. No veo gantts por ningun lado.
19. TUTOS: Se anuncia mas como groupware. No me gustan los colores ni la diagramacion. Tambien de origen Aleman. Esta muy orientado a proyectos de software y seguimiento de bugs. No esta del todo mal.
20. DotProject: Definitivamente es el proyecto mas grande de todos y el mas evolucionado con mas gente contribuyendo. Lo que realmente me incomoda es la apariencia, es extremadamente primitiva, pero hay muchos temas disponibles como contribucion de la comunidad.
21. ClockingIT : Es uno de mis candidatos mas fuertes, por su apariencia, su funcionalidad, su diseño.
23. PhpCollab : Luce tambien como una comunidad muy activa, estan iniciando el proceso para lanzamiento de la versión 3.0. Interesante pero no sobresaliente, no tiene Gantt.
22. Collabtive : Su interfaz es muy atractiva, pero hay muchas caracteristicas que no lo hacen apto para proyectos grandes. NO veo jerarquias de tareas, aunque usa listados de tareas, varias por proyectos, simulando subproyectos. Muy interesante.
24. PHProjekt : Algo alemanizado, su apariencia, aunque practica no es de mi gusto particular, inclusive se puede llamar "de avanzada". Se presenta como un groupware, se mueve bastante y estan lanzando su version 6.0 y tuve algunos errores en javascript corriendo Opera. Merece ser visto a mayor profundidad.
25. Projectfork : Módulo de Joomla y pues permite acceso a los multiples facilidades del CMS. Luce bastante bien, no hay gantts, ni dependencias aunque si milestones. Bonito pero se requiere algo mas "enterprise".
Finalistas
Estoy con Dotproject, ClockingIT y Phpprojekt. Vamos a realizar una evaluacion de la herramienta instalandola y haciendo lo siguiente:
- Creando Usuarios
- Registrando grupos y roles
- Registrando un proyecto
- Ingresando un par de tareas asociadas al proyecto.
- Hacer evaluacion de la evolucion del proyecto.
20. DotProject: Instalación bastante facil y transparente. La puesta en funcionamiento ya empieza a ser un poco dificil, pero como todo, una vez se entiende como opera es bastante facil. Tiene todas las características que busca el departamento tecnico: dependencias moviles, plantillas y tiempos y costos reales y estimados. Lo único que no encontramos fueron diferentes tipos de dependencias: final-final, inicio inicio, solo estan inicio-final, pero no es considerado crítico.
21. ClockingIT : Mis esperanzas no estuvieron retribuidas lastimosamente. Instalarlo es un dolor de cabeza: no lo logre por mas que instale o al menos intente todas poner todas las dependencias. Termine inscribiendome en la pagina y trabajando sobre la instalación que ofrecen. Bonito, es muy bonito nada que hacer, pero hasta ahi, no veo % de tarea completada, o esta hecha o no esta hecha; el gantt no muestra nada, .. en fin, buen trabajo pero aun falta mucho para ser de buen nivel.
24. PHProjekt : Lo descargue, pero no logre hacerlo funcionar. Siento que la version 6 aun no es usable, aunque prometedora.... PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Session_Exception' with message 'session has already been started by session.auto-start or session_start()'
Resultado
Me causa gracia y es un buen ejercicio para el orgullo, el reconocer que alguien me lo habia dicho. Me tomo casi 20 horas de trabajo escribir este artículo para llegar a la misma conclusión que alguien ya me habia recomendado. Nuestro elegido, definitivamente es DotProject y no es un amor a primera vista. NO me gusta su apariencia, quiza voy a trabajar en un tema bonito, pero su usabilidad es insuperable por nada libre.
