Plandora Description

Useful software for teams that have problems with resource bottle-necks, parallel projects, critical dead lines The Plandora project was born to be a tool to help the software development process, since the customer requirement until the task conclusion, and consequently gather the "history" of project. The Plandora system can be useful for teams that have problems with resource bottle-necks, parallel projects, critical dead lines, necessity for scope documentation of tasks and requirements, etc.Plandora is important to notice that a workflow tool is only a support instrument and demands a process with at least a little of discipline. By the way, for projects with chaotic structure (without any process or any formal development) the adoption of a workflow tool could even bring problems to development team. Here are some key features of "Plandora": · Multiples roles into system. Project Leader, Project Resource, Customer and System Administrator (Root). Each role is associated with different features into system. · The system supports multiples projects, where each project has one or more leaders, one or more resources and one or more customers. (see the screenshot) · The system provides customer GUI to open Requirements and follow the status of opened Requirements. (see the screenshot) · The Leader of project is able to check and approve/refuse the requirements coming from customers. The project resources won't be involved until the request is approved. (see the screenshot) · The Leader is able to link one or more tasks with a request and to assign it to a specific project resource. · The tasks of resources can be updated and visualized by project leader in any time through a Gantt chart. (see the screenshot) · The task working time from the resource TO DO list, can be updated and will be considered dynamically by the Gantt chart and eventually will change the status of request viewed by customer requester. (see the screenshot) · The system administrator is able to configure for each project, key indicators (KPI) which follow the concept of BSC (Balanced Scorecard). Each KPI is actually a SQL statement, and for this reason, can be easily customized for any situations. (see the screenshot) · The system administrator is able to create requirement categories for a specific project. It is useful to categorize types of requests (for example: if the project is in compliance with the ITIL Service Desk the categories can be set to Incidents, Problems, Changes, etc) · The tool implements the concept of Meta Fields. A Meta Field is a visual element (text box, combo box or a SQL combo box) created by system administrator and can be related with the requirements of a specific project. The Meta Fields is useful to give more customization for the requirements input. (see the screenshot) · The Plandora tool is multiplatform. It is written in Java and runs in any operational system that supports the Java language. · Plandora was designed and tested under a free data base (MySQL) and free web server (Jakarta Tomcat). · The Plandora tool is royalty free for any purposes.
