Project Management Tool for developers and sysadmins: shared or separate?
- by David
Should a team of system administrators who are on a software development project share a project management tool with the developers or use their own separate one?
We use Trac and I see the benefit in sharing since inter-team tasks can be maintained by a single system where there may be cross-over or misfiled bugs (e.g. an apparent bug which turns out to be a server configuration issue or a development cycle which needs a server to be configured before it can start)
However sharing could be difficult since many system administration tasks don't coincide with a single development milestone if at all.
So should a system administration team use a separate PM Tool or share the same one with the developers? If they should share, then how?
