I posted this in General but it occurred to me it should be here too: (there was one feature I forgot in the other post)
I've modified mantis to cope with small project management. I did the following:
I've modified mantis to cope with small project management. I did the following:
- added a new block/waiting relationship set in addition to the default parent/child (which is more for hierarchical/grouping tasks)
- added auto-unblock of a task once the tasks it is waiting on are resolved
- added a proper hierarchical collapsing section view to the roadmap
- added detailed sprint (version) analysis to the roadmap, per user and overall
- added ajax-powered expanding into the regular search/view_all_bugs view, so you can click on an icon to quickly list up the children of a task below it
- added task weights and progress (custom fields)
- added the automatic calculation of these task weights and progresses into the parent task (so you can see the progress of a group of tasks quickly)
- added auto-tagging of usernames to tasks which also accumulate in the parent's tasks
- added small avatars based on these tags to make it quick and easy to see who is involved in what (you get a nice row of avatars on a parent task with lots of children that are assigned to different people for example)
- added inheritance of parent tasks when you clone a task
- added quick navigation icons into the task summary column in the search view so you can quickly jump to a task's parent, you can quickly jump to the hierarchy graphs using these icons too
- added custom group action for adding relationships to tasks (useful for adding a bunch of tasks as children to one parent)
