Why use Redmine

Simply put, Redmine is a project management software.   How to reduce communication costs, how to avoid development risks, how to compress project manpower? These problems seem to strategically advantageous position, in fact, are not non-master untouchable.   Suppose there is a research and development team, L is the boss, he is responsible for access requirements and scheduling tasks.   I, assign the task L understand a wave of demand, will pull the relevant people to discuss, explain why, what to do, how to do. After the meeting, there are often unclear, incomprehensible, contradictory questions will ask l,l time is so fragmented waste. What's more, the ideas, the design methods, and the trivial questions and answers that have been discussed are not recorded and need to be recalled in the future, only by the memory of the brain, or by looking for someone to help you remember. For L, or for the team members, a place to record these things, whether at the time or half a month later, will always be useful. After understanding the requirements with Redmine, create a task and its child task, assign it to the appropriate person, and write the task contents clearly on the task description. The relevant person will receive a task notification, review the contents of the task, to do not understand the question of the place to reply to the query, and then wait for L reply to the answer. No matter how long it takes, everyone can retrieve what time they did, what problems they encountered, and what their design ideas were.   II, Task tracking L agreed to product manager said XX time points to complete the project, so he wants to know whether everyone can complete the task before this point, and occasionally ask everyone how to complete the progress. Group members for L is often a black box, often only when the task is completed or to be postponed, the box will be opened, to know, oh ~ completed Ah, or, oh? Why postpone? L can not do timely extension of risk control, really very unprofessional. With redmine words, the members of the team to update their tasks every day before work progress, registration hours, and write the content completed today. L can see these progress and task content at any time, through the Project Gantt Chart, can find the risk in time and avoid it beforehand.   Weekly I need to report to the team on a weekly basis, so he also asked members to send weekly weekly reports to him. But the team members are really disgusted with writing weekly reports, every time to try to remember what this week, but also to calculate good hours, can not let L feel lazy, when necessary to make up a little. With Redmine, because every day work has a task record, and there is a time record, so the weekly only a few mouse clicks can be exported, the top of this week's detailed work and consumption of hours.   Four, on-line operation of the system upgrade, maintenance, accident treatment and so on need strict implementation steps, especially money-related key services, should be handled with care. But often people careless careless, not forget this is forget that, accidentally, the company lost XX million, the executive person mayBeing interrogates, l will also be required to strengthen process management. The leader said relaxed, a sentence we want to have the process, l will think about it, how to ensure that it is not wrong? Use the Redmine to create a task, write the purpose of the operation, the steps, and the check method for each step. After writing, he needs to find another person to carry out the review, check whether the procedure is reasonable, whether there is omission, there is a problem to reply to throw suggestions, no problem on the reply review pass. After the implementation of the personnel can be executed, the key step is best also let the auditor in the next look at the operation, the completion of the auditor to check the results of the implementation. This makes it possible to double check for at least two people, and the task of working on the line records the whole process of the operation, and it is very convenient to review and to be responsible once the problem occurs.   Five, Project Wikiword, PPT, PDF, mail, write documents, documents, update the document, should not be so troublesome! We need a centralized, hierarchical, easy-to-share document management tool, which is a wiki. The Redmine wiki itself is not a big advantage, but one obvious benefit is that it is combined with projects, versions, and even specific tasks. For example, if you need a small document in a task, you can write a wiki page and attach it to a task, which in turn is still possible. Like since the supermarket has a bulb to sell, you don't have to go to the hardware store to buy, you want, are on the Redmine, and are related to each other.   Other instructions: 1. Whether the tool can play its due role, not the tool itself is not good, the key to see if users play it well. A lot of teams simply use the Redmine,task update is not timely, the wiki organization is inappropriate, will make redmine become a burden. So, the focus is to cultivate the habits of the team, not just learn to use Redmine. 2. The above advantages are not the whole of redmine, there are many noteworthy highlights, these are just my own team to use it after the benefit of our team. 3. Like l This kind of project management role, can do a good job, try to reduce unnecessary communication and interruption of the team members, not only to do a demand communicator, some in advance to think well, and then tell everyone what they want to do, this can greatly improve the overall work efficiency of the group, especially for the programmer this need to calm down to not be interrupted , be sure to take good care of. Of course, L also want to try to let the team members understand the overall situation, understand why, can't let them think they are just a screw, let them become the whole aircraft carrier heart screw.
