What will we use to establish and administer the project plan? #2

Closed sergeantbacon closed 8 years ago

sergeantbacon commented 8 years ago

We need to maintain a basic project plan. What technology/platform should we use for this?

BayoAdejare commented 8 years ago

Trello?

We're going to use waffle.io for visualizing the workflow, but we need to host a project plan somewhere. I'll look into it but would love it if anyone had recommendations.

Any recommendations?

I think some sort of gantt chart plugin would work well for a big picture project plan. I have been looking to see if there is something that works with GitHub (and that is also free:)!) but I haven't really found anything yet. We could always just create something simple in google docs excel.

I did find a mind mapping tool that we might be able to use (https://sketchboard.io/), if not for the project plan itself then for brainstorming, strategy, roadmaps and general idea organizing. While Sketchboard is free there is a limit to how many people on the team may use it, which may or may not be a problem depending on how we use it. Also it integrates into GitHub.

I'll keep looking!

Been doing more research and I can't seem to find anything that does project plans that live in the interwebs without having to pay a monthly fee.

I think I'll just throw something together in Google Sheets. Stay tuned.

Not sure if this would fit your goals, but Elegantt integrates with Trello: https://elegantt.com/

JacquelineSiotto commented 8 years ago

Elegantt looks really great and I love the name:). They unfortunately don't integrate into GitHub yet:(

Jacqui whipped up a nice Gantt chart in Google Sheets. Strategy team will add a copy of the chart to the repo if/when it's needed.
