Yes. I agree. It would be a nice piece of separate functionality that a Gantt plugin could require. Shall we call it CompositeTicket for the purposes of discussion? > nit: Task A might have hours for A, in addition to subtasks B and C. > You might want to ban this by policy, but it makes sense for some > people. If A is do B and C and spend time coordinating them, I'd argue that that coordination is task D. (Though I admit that time might be concurrent with A and B. Maybe the solution is to pad tasks B and C for the management overhead in coordinating them.) But I really wouldn't want to have time in a task that's decomposed into other tasks. > In the requirements, it's not clear to me if the scheduling is > supposed to be resource aware or not. ... That's a good question. As long as it's isolated in a plugin and not tangling up the core, I don't know that it's a bad thing that the Gantt plugin is resource aware. Or maybe there's a Resource Leveling plugin that requires the Gantt plugin. (And a Project Management package that bundles TimingAndEstimation, MasterTicket, CompositeTicket, Gantt, and Resource.) > 3. Tasks A and B start at the same time > 4.

I have an associate who's a certified project planner and he couldn't come up with examples of those uses either, though he confirmed that they are considered valid to project management weenies. > ... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
