Greetings and Salutations. We are looking for any information on project management tools under UNIX (including a system named "PROMPT"). You know, things like critical path scheduling, Gantt charts, ... A desireable system would include the ability to blow up tasks into subtasks, do corporate-wide resource allocation, be easy to use for non- computer types, and run under System III. We are also looking for UNIX-based tools comprising a Software Development System. An SDS is basically a problem tracker. For example, when a report of a bug (to a controlled application) comes in, an identifier would be assigned and all work involved in fixing that problem would be tracked under that identifier. Actions such as interfacing to "sccs" and "make" would be controlled by the SDS. Having multiple programmers working on the same (or different) pieces of the source of the application should not be disallowed. Version control for releasing new versions of the product may also be controlled. As a former Bell Laboratories employee, I know that there are such systems at the Labs (I worked on one such system), but they have been developed in-house and I don't really believe that AT&T is ready to issue this stuff to the rest of the world. Please mail any responses directly to me and I will summarize to the net all the good info I get.
