Mingle: http://www.thoughtworks.com/mingle



Mingle is a project collaboration and management tool for Agile 
software development. It adapts to the way a project team thinks and 
works, enabling them to get work done and deliver results more quickly.


Does one have to use Agile methods to use this tool? AFAIK, Agile PM 
methods are a whole new world...

A basic requirement for an agile tool would be that it easily adapts
to whatever process the team uses. My understanding is that you can
model pretty much any lightweight process in Mingle.

Re: [silk] Project Management Software (web based)

2008-02-12 Thread Aditya Chadha
 I am looking for a project management software something free and web-based.

How about just using trac? http://trac.edgewall.org/

Trac is not as pretty as Basecamp (which is cheap, but not free) and
takes a little setup but works pretty well, especially for managing
bug requests/milestones etc. although it is not as full-featured as
project-open seems to be. I think http://svnrepository.com provides
you with trac and subversion for a low monthly fee, if you don't want
to pay for hosting, etc.

I haven't used project-open and I know Venky swears by it, but it
seems to be 'everything-and-the-kitchen-sink' - if that's what you're
looking for.

Cheers,
Aditya

web-based is important because there are people on the project from 5
different timezones

Any suggestions, something that someone may have used in a similar scenario ?

My suggestion: Basecamp
link: http://www.basecamphq.com/

Quite the most elegant and intuitive proj mgmt apps I've seen.
