As an offshore outsourcing software development company, we develop software for our customers, located all over the world. Often our customers ask us:
- How do we track our projects?
- How can we see activities, happening on our tasks?
- How do we progress status on different parts of the project?
- How can we keep track of bugs?
- How can we watch daily reports of programmers assigned to our projects?
All of these questions are highly important in order to provide high-quality services to our customers. Therefore, to be able to supply the top-level quality of software development, we had to develop a system that would allow to accomplish to these requirements.
Over three years ago, we have specified and developed such system, and gave it a name "ProSys" - Project Management System. From the beginning it was our intention to make it Web-based, so that our clients will be able to use it from anywhere.
The basic concept of ProSys is the following business model. Everything what can happen in any business process, happens between its participants, and is an activity. In this way, any business process can be described as a set of activities happening between participants of the process.
On basis of this concept, Prosys deals with projects (processes), which have certain members (participants). Current version of Prosys supports the following types of activities:
- Message - improves communication between project's members grouping their discussions by subject
- Job - allows customer to create and maintain a 'TO DO' task list for his developers. Once a person (normally customer) has sent a job, only he is able to mark this job as 'completed', i.e. remove it from the open tasks list.
- Report - allows customer to track daily reports of the employees working for him, and in this way to know current project status. This activity, being supplied with 'hours spent' property, allows to see time expenses on each job and makes it easier to create an invoice.
- Bug - implements all necessary bug tracking functionalities.
- File - any type of file can be posted into Prosys. It will be stored on the server and can be reviewed any time later. This is a unique feature allowing to maintain project documentation in one place, grouped by project, it parts and subjects.
Sending of any activity causes not only saving of this information into Prosys database, but is also copied by E-mail to all participants of the project. In this way, participants are notified by E-mail, if certain activities happen on projects that they are involved in.
Here we have described only the basic features of Prosys. A demo that implements these features, you can try here. Please make sure that you have read Help before you log-in: it will explain you what you'll see and how to use it.
Commercial version has even more features, such as: more activities, planning possibilities (like in MS Word), reporting, user's and user's rights administration, more comfortable solution of communication, support of most popular Instant Messengers and many other features. If you are interested, please contact us, and we will send you more detailed prospect, pricing and licensing policies.
Commercial version is implemented in JSP-similar technology and is distributed in binary form as compiled servlets with Apache and Jserv. Prosys uses standard ANSI SQL and establishes database connection using JDBC, therefore it can use as database MS Access, SQL Server, PostgreSQL and Oracle. This makes this our product platform-independent.
