IT Project Guide

Description:
Fault Tree Analysis is a GREAT TOOL to visually describe the underlying potential causes of potential risks...NASA and many Engineering disciplines use it...very interesting (I haven't see it used in project management...but the application is direct and easy)

Description:

A demo version of IT Project Guide's Project Management tool is now available!

http://itprojectguide.org/PMBase/demo/

You can download the latest files here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/itpgpm/

User ID: demo
Password: demo

Status: beta - aka looking for feedback

Based mostly on Web2Project which was based on dotProject..changes specific to ITProjectGuide-PM (or PMBase...still deciding on the name):

• removed many extra fields (in my opinion) including costing and contacts and departments
• removed the gacl (general access control layer) tables and code - lots of them. Security is wide open at this point...have fun
• corrected some errors
• created new theme (very simple and based on Web2Project)

Basically, I got use to the code and did some clean up. Once I fully test I'll release on Source Forge and start to make more modifications....including:

• simplified security
• risk management
• deliverable management (check list)

Let me know what you think.

Description:
We have heard a lot about the risk of not writing requirements, but little about
how to profit from making risk management integral to the requirements process.
Tom DeMarco and Tim Lister redress that imbalance by explaining the role that
requirements must play in honest risk management.
