I work for a large corporation, but we do small intranet web application development. Our project management tracking sucks. Its custom software built by a jr. intern. For what its worth, our development style is akin to agile, but there's nothing set in stone...very customer oriented approach. I need project tracking that meets the criteria:
Intranet, internal products.
Mostly maintenance, some new development.
5 developers
12 products
1 hands-off manager. He
really just wants to know estimated
man hours, due date for dev, QA and
release. Along with a short
description of the project.
Free or super cheap.
Bonus
Simple pretty UI. Think pretty
charts.
Hope I covered everything. Please ask for any clarification. If you read dreaming in code, the company uses some project tracking software that sounds pretty sweet.
Note, we do have Team Foundation Server. I already tried pushing its use as PM tracking, but its too complicated. I can't get people to sit and train. So this software has to be easy.
