Hey Drupal Community, What Project Management Software Do You Use?

We've been on OpenGoo for about a month and it is phenomenal.
Workspaces, Drag and Drop, Email, and it's open source, free, and on our server.

So far, so very good. We're also users of Drupal, Ubercart, and SAP.

Check out our blog for a full review of OpenGoo very soon.

very nice and informative post...so thanks for that very good information ;-)

Great informative post

At ImageX Media we use a combination of Basecamp and Redmine.

Baescamp is primarily used for client communication, where it excels. In the 3+ years we've used it even the most technophobic of clients has been able to become comfortable with it. It is less strong in collaborative editing (Google Docs instead) and time tracking (Harvest is excellent!).

Redmine is used as an issue tracking system as well as an easy way to automatically create a code repository for each project. The software is excellent for this purpose. I highly recommend it over Trac for its strong support for multiple projects. If private conversation threads are implemented in the upcoming 0.9 release I'd even consider transitioning client communications away from Basecamp to consolidate tools.

We're using Trac (Java) and Team Foundation Server (Win32 C++). We want to move to one common platform and the plan is to choose Trac. I'd like to settle on Drupal but there's nothing that suits our needs. Drupal's project/project_issue combo is too fiddly with its Subversion integration. Trac works - it's simple and it's easy to use. Drupal would open a lot of potential but so far even Open Atrium doesn't interest me. Storm's team member functionality doesn't work properly yet and everything else is too informal.

So, this has been an issue for a lot of people for a while now. It's not quite ready for the "big time" yet, but I'm getting closer with my riat project (it's already in cvs on d.o http://www.drupal.org/project/riat ).

Shortly after Drupal 5 came out I built our own project management system internally all in drupal/cck/views/a-freak-ton-of-theming... This has survived until today, and indeed is still in production, however in the last 6 months or so, a number of clients have all shown up with some common needs, namely the ability to have what amounts to OG style groups within other groups, and the ability to define workflows of content types in a plastic nature (think something like case tracker, but where you could define all the different node types involved with ease). That is exactly what RIAT is striving to do, I'm hoping to have a usable release for it in the next 60 days. I'm hoping the community at large will take some serious time to play with it in order to give drupal the edge it needs to really make intranets/project management a breeze to create.

I've been using Redmine for awhile now. Mostly for support ticketing and managing website development with wiki, issues and svn.

Already, I'm moving some stuff to Atrium and look forward to when I have full code repository integrated in it too. I really think that we'll see the Atrium platform mature with community contributions of new "Features" and further development of existing "Features".

I moved from Trac for software projects and Basecamp for team communication to Redmine for both together. Trac didn't support sub projects and stopped being used much. Basecamp stuck to their ideology too much to add new features. Code repository with Basecamp required integration with something else anyway.

I've used eGroupware in the past as well as tested a bunch of others. Functionality was OK at the time, but development had slowed and performance was kind of heavy.

Always, always a good question. We asked this question too a few months ago, and received some interesting answers from readers at our blog (http://www.appnovation.com/tools-managing-drupal-projects).

We use BaseCamp right now. It's an important means of communicating with our clients, each other, and keeping track of milestones.

Any tool that can integrate communication, time-tracking (we use TickSpot), and ticket-tracking features would be an ideal solution. It sounds like there are a few options that offer this combo, and we've talked about moving to ActiveCollab, but that's on the back burner probably for the same reason so many companies don't switch software: the time required to migrate project data and learn to use it is always the unknown.

Our project management extranet at Exaltation of Larks has always consisted of Drupal core, CCK, Views, Organic Groups, Case Tracker and other helper modules. The functionality and design philosophy evolved naturally over time to meet the needs of our company and our clients.

We just switched over to Open Atrium (which uses the same components we've already gotten used to) and we haven't looked back. The prospect of using an open-source, self-hosted, crowd-sourced project management platform is exciting enough but a decided advantage for us was being able to migrate years worth of work from our old extranet to our new one.
