Abstract

The Aim of the Project is latest generation Web Based System for Managing and Tracking Software Development Projects. It is called "Project tracking System" for a good reason - it was specifically designed to make software project management
hassle free and straightforward. Despite the simplicity of use, Easy Projects is a powerful and sophisticated system based on the Microsoft .NET technology and MS-Access. These robust technologies provide with a scalable and flexible solution to manage and track projects of any complexity level.

PROJECT REQUIREMENT STUDY AND DOCUMENTATION

The Project Tracking System (PTS) was initially developed to document, prioritize and track the progress of internal Remedy projects by setting milestones and establishing deliverables required to complete a project. As the application became more robust, other groups became interested in using PTS to manage their own projects.

Using the Project Tracking System

This document discusses opening PTS, how to create an PTS projects, adding attachments, setting up deliverables, establishing project members, creating deliverables and milestones to measure progress, project security features, setting milestone alert notifications, sending email from within a PTS project and more..

Notifications and Communications within PTS

This document discusses all of the types of notifications that PTS sends to project members and customers throughout the lifecycle of the project. Notifications are divided into categories and defined for who receives a notification, what information is distributed, when the notification is sent, and why the notification is sent to either the customer or the support staff working the request.

Advanced Searching and Reporting

This document discusses advanced searching techniques including queries by example (QBE) and using the Advanced Search Bar to construct search statements to extract needed information as well as built in reporting and reports generated using an external application called Crystal Reports.

The Project Tracking System was initially developed to document, prioritize and track the progress of internal Remedy projects by setting milestones and establishing deliverables required to complete a project. As the application became more robust, other groups became interested in using PTS to manage their own projects. The Project Tracking System (PTS) can be displayed in two different modes: Save mode and Search mode. Save mode is indicated in PTS by the Save button located in the upper right corner of the form and is used to create or modify requests. Search mode is indicated in PTS by the Search button located in the upper right corner of the form and is used to find an existing request.
