Product Idea: Open Source Agile Project Management Tool in Rails
The idea is to use Ruby on Rails to add a new member of eSpace's products family and create a tool that is used daily by all eSpace employees to ease their life.
The product is an agile project management software that should ease the project management, planning, tracking and quality assurance of all of eSpace projects.
Features:
1.Agile planning and tracking for teams, projects, iterations, stories and tasks
2.Role-based permission system
3.Integration with Subversion to link every project to its assets
4.Bug reporting and tracking
5.Employees time sheets
6.Personal to-do list
7.Internal messages between employees
8.Customizable employee dashboard that displays calendar, current tasks, delayed tasks, open bugs, messages, etc.
9.Client view, where clients can get the proper info about the project and progress and can submit bugs and check the status of older bugs
10.Rich user experience, Ajax, drag-n-drop planning, etc.
11.Email notifications
12.Reports, statistics and charts about employees performance, project progress, client satisfaction, etc.
13.Web service API to be accessible for other applications
Benefits:
1.Resolve all problems, obstacles and missing features of the currently used tool, XPlanner, so employees become happy when using it and hence get more accurate results and true impressions
2.A step on the road of "eSpace, the products company"
3.A step on the road of "eSpace, the open source contributor"
4.A proof of proficiency with the Ruby on Rails framework
5.A proof of usefulness of our product by being used daily by our employees
