hi,

the attachment contains the answers to the question

"What is the main problem in ProjectManager?"


robert


ps: if anybody wants these comments in a more convenient format i can send him/her an excel-file.

ÿþbad documentation

Documents

did not use it up to now 

all ok

custom order of subprojects etc., time 
tracking, showing resources' pressure 
(1000% per day) etc.

documentation

only little expirience

not simple

rather complex and not usually needed 
for smaller projects

I do not have problems with this 
application!

I'm still learning it.

It would be nice if i could use the 
standard pricelist for any Project.

it's currently not really useful for 
managing projects

slow response time

as we changed to new version three 
weeks ago I still don't know well the 
problems

Missing Overall Ganttchart for all 
projects + milestones

to many options...maybe a basic panel 
and advanced panel would be nice

it takes a lot of time to get an 
overview

Filtering. I would like to have a finer 
grain way of filtering. I.e. select 
which Infolog or timesheets or listed.

The gd graph sometimes presents problem

I know little of this application, but 
i think the date handle is a bitt odd, 
you should be able to change the finish 
date related to the resources assigned, 
and to change linked tasks dates 
accordingly

it not simple. need arrangement or 
rebuilding ui

little visual cleaness, too many 
informations in very little space.

Export / Import MS Project data

different functions for the same 
buttons on different levels of the 
management --> difficult to explain to 
new users, on which level they have to 
perform which action

setailed statistics, detailed views, 
bad interface, look at openworkbench

I'm confused as to how it works.

It is hard to use since InfoLog is hard 
to manage with a lot of items

Project management is too simple. Too 
few parameters are taken into account 
compared to true project management 
softs like MS Project. Cutting a 
project into smaller pieces is not 
handled correctly, neither is sharing 
work within the team. Scheduling 
features are far too simple (take a 
look at GanttProject for that matter). 
Finally, display could be highly 
improved (my colleagues think it looks 
too difficult...).

go back button missing cant use descibe 
function 

Takes a lot of getting used to.  Really 
needs good documentation around price 
and budget management.

describing concept and documentation

my pm doesn't work with webdav

no milestones found, want more standard 
PM-functionality

project participants should also be 
contacts. Links and participants should 
be sorted. A project should have a 
customizable summary sheet to send to 
all participants (details, summary, 
participants, etc.)

Many functionallities are still 
missing, that I would like to see there

everyone can set and edit the price 
table

Creation of tasks is really fatidious, 
cant keep an hierarchical order of 
task, no alert on milestone

not in use anymore - because i dont 
know how it works

Need to have basic knoledge in project 
management

create a correct job e use TTS and 
other task for project

"Didn't migrated data from the older 
""projects""."

Syncronism with infolog

Problem with encoding in gannt charts. 
I use UTF-8 cyrillic, but  charts 
dislayed in iso8859-1

interface, bad use of bold and 
unnessesary multi lines

ganttcharts should be more userfriendly 
and interactive

design

The Tamplate is not duplicated so if i 
create a new project and work on it the 
tamplate is impacted

"project tree should be made out of 
project names - not numbers. 
configurable fields need user defined 
name - not just ""custom"""

Too complex in 1.0, i don't know in 1.2

UI

Itis no real a project manager 
application

navigation isn't userfriendly

no billing options like in previous 
versions

"A bit complex ""slang"". Cant export."

I don't use it

not so powerful

<<use app to little to have an 
qualified opinion>>

still testing

never got gant charts to work preperly

Confusing interface

less web 2.0 technology

crap

To complicated, learningtreshold too 
high

integration with other modules, 
internal congruency

not documented enough

filters, statistic evaluation

Not very intuitive

Die Übersicht ist nicht ganz so gut

interface is not usr friendly ...

support Russian fonts for MWindows

Need postgres support

Milestone are a Problem

not documented, not intuitive

Complicated to create tasks. Manage 
times

no real problem, but too slow (too many 
data over the internet)

i use dotproject

complex application   documentation how 
to use

administration no documentation

it's a little bit confusing sometimes. 
I wish there was more clarity.

Does not work together with InfoLog

Yes, thats great program

Didn't used enough yet

In the window on the left(which 
contains the mini browser), the 
projects are shown by their number and 
not by their name (if you leave 
2seconds the mouse on the number, the 
name apperas, but the contrary will be 
better I think)

you can not so much personalize the 
gant diagram

lack of documentation, two many 
parameters

Modification are not easy to do maybe 
because navigation is not clear

too much simple, too young -> 
draft/confused/not clear

no big none ...

i don't use it yet

too tough to figure out for the users

That Projects cannot be divided into 
subprojects or tasks

can not print Gantt charts

the icon for the infolog entries 
does'nt represent the type of the entry

we use 1.0

Task management could be more flexible

no support for teams

not enough possibilities

Overview, sorting, filtering, rights, 
how much time do you have?

was difficult to implement in our group 
'cos some functionality was not as they 
expected 

it is hard to understand for a lot of 
my users.

Crashes

To more difficult to use, maybe better 
in the new version

no problem

To much focus on Software developement. 
Other Projekts are not well managebel

A little complex - no documentation and 
tasks don't display in order unless on 
the gantt chart!

navigation issues / maybe a tree like 
structure for items belonging to 
projects

Sometimes I want to see ALL my 
projects. Suggest putting an ALL option 
in the Active, Non-Active, Archive, 
Template drop down menu.

Gantt's important but still below 
usability. Intereactiv and prettier 
please, Less finicky on wrong 
Projectdates.

you took out the bill generation code!

email linking, printout options

Not easy to go appropriate, is missing 
a level for the purchase order and 
invoice. Not using to parse the project 
list

I can´t write notes for the projets

Too complicated / too many clicks per 
task

We've just started to use it

problems with latest internetexplorer, 
no fileuploads possible, partially no 
editing, etc. 

Does not seem mature yet

dates in projectmanager and infolog are 
different

more example and manual please

problem with polish chars in Ganttchart

Documentation

Would like to see complete list of 
projects with expanded infologs

the status display

It's new. I LOVE it but it still needs 
more. Needs Gantt chart editing 
interface, ability to make tasks 
prerequisite, and better milestone 
management (ability to link milestones 
to other objects like tasks)

should have fields to inform list of 
time & materials fo cost control and 
ease profit evaluation

interface complicated

Task, Timesheet and Infolog entries are 
difficult and confusing for users to 
work with. 

Not documented. The timesheets do not 
apprears in the calendar.

I did not use new PM yet

not very intuitive

project status behaves weird sometimes

speed

No effective CPA, Not Before- Not After 
is not implemented  

Time and ressource management

same view acts different in different 
context

not used it yet

JpGraph Error: Can't access PHP_SELF, 
PHP global variable. You can't run PHP 
from command line if you want to use 
the 'auto' naming of cache or image 
files.

usability (I believe the project 
definition in \'dotProject\' more 
linear...)

"Ganttchart should be more flexible 
(zoom, moving tasks directly on 
chart...also there is problem in 
""projectmanager Menu"" where projects 
are listed there is not enough space to 
view them correctly"

not planification yet

GD bug, gantt diagrams don't display

Hard to understand the relation with 
infolog

use of price-list, missing meachnism to 
create invoices

views

Very nice job : excellent

linking of files (MyDMS) and mails to 
projects

complicated filters

It's a very complex application no one 
in our office has enough time to use 
this app in depth.

Clicking on the Icon does not reset the 
view.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] the version of egw the 
projectmanager doesnt apply our needs 
(MS Project is the standard SW at our 
Place)

Possibility to skip the administration 
data at the screen ( prices) and keep 
sub task, people and dates

Can't see sub-items heirarchy clearly - 
a more file-manager like look (with 
indents?) would help

There's no obvoius starting point. 
Adding all calendar entries, contacts 
etc. to a project just makes the 
information difficult to read.

It is hard understand how it works.

used very little so far

Get grafics to work!

lack of knowledge

Started using this app only recently

Usability

(not user manual)

No fucking documentation - in english. 
I can't figure out how to properly use 
it. 

i need more options

Very difficult to quickly manage 
projects

It does not have a great flow to it, 
not always easy to tell where you are.

the graphics of PM are very poor

"Not possible ""traslate"" in case of 
posticipation; non clarification about 
use f budgets"

L'utilisation et la documentation

weird diplay of sub-task

Need to be able to tie to files in DMS

it´s not intuitive

cohesion with timesheet and document 
management  modules (filescenter)

needs custom fields

poor documentation

Cannot install on Windows using MSSQL 
or MySQL.

there doesn't exist a visual 
represaentation of different projects 
and there steps as one overview

Uploding project files and update it

not enought functionality documentation

gant scaling could be better... 
inventory managment is possible but 
ugly

No export capability (for Projekt on 
SymbianOS per example)

Make it easier to start new project

Want to use if to keep track of client 
files.

No Drag n Drop - NO good Printing 
support for timesheets - makes it 
unusable in our company
