Conclusions

In order to deliver a successful SW Project is necessary to know and keep track of the tasks that need to be performed.

With OpenProj, a project manager establishes the list of project tasks. Each can be assigned to resources and given an estimate of the completion effort. Tasks can be indented to be sub-tasks of a parent. OpenProj allows dynamic adjustment of tasks. By changing a duration, the effect on the whole project schedule can be viewed at a glance.

Sub-project durations are accumulated into their parents. It is a simple matter to either add a new project task at any level or to change a task into a sub-task. The project resources can be maintained in a list showing the resource name and availability. Additional resource details can be entered such as name, email address, hourly cost, overtime or cost per use.
