More project management capabilities

[xilix]

The linking possibilities between the projects, tasks and addressbook app in Tine 2.0 are very nice! With this information one can almost construct/export a Gantt chart that visualizes the current state of a project and/or the critical path...

The only missing information is a start date for tasks. Also a finish-to-start dependency would be nice. I think the visualization or export procedure would be solvable as well.

The groupware PHProjekt is good for inspiration purposes

hi xilix,

that is a good idea. adding a start date would be no big effort. would you add a feature request for this?

do you have an idea how to generate the gantt chart (by using open source tools)?

Also a finish-to-start dependency would be nice.

what exactly do you mean by this?

Done. https://forge.tine20.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=7852

Yes. One example ist MAHATMA GANTTI. There might be others.

Also a finish-to-start dependency would be nice.

what exactly do you mean by this?

In German you would maybe call it "Übergabepunkte". So this means a dependency, which describes that task A must be finished before task B can be started.

ok, thanks for the additions. could you please add feature requests for the other two features (gantt + finish-to-start dependency)?

[xilix]

Yes.
