"I can find troubled projects, swoop in and save them through sheer competence, and save the day.  This is probably the biggest single lie a developer can tell himself." Honk.

Yes.

Redmine fork.

Backup, collaboration, and project organization designed for pro audio professionals.

"All of the 'heavy' agiles like Scrum have confused me: isn't agile about fundamentally less process and more flexibility? One can't serve two masters. Teams have to pick a point along the completely structured - completely flexible line. As far as I'm concerned, these flavors of agile are just wolves in sheep's clothing that allow existing waterfall autocrats to continue their reign under the guise of adopting 'agile.'" Amen to that. Use the parts that make sense, jettison the parts with large overheads and ideology. Be pragmatic.

"Agile project management tool that enables real time collaboration around a shared, prioritized backlog."

This looks like it could be most handy. "If you’re building a multi-language website or app, you probably use language files. When you change content in one language file, you need to remember to update the other language files. Even with source control, this can get messy pretty quickly if you have many languages, many translators or a large site. We encountered these problems ourselves and needed a tool to keep things organized - so we built String."

"Heroes are damaging to a team because they become a crutch. As soon as you have someone who’s always willing to work at all hours, the motivation from the rest of the team to produce reliable, trouble-free software drops. The hero is a human patch."

"Is there a way to block a given change based on the user role? For example, I don't want any developer to be able to change a ticket status from 'development' to 'closed'. I want it to go through 'test', and allow 'test' to 'closed' only to users with the test role."

"What I’m writing here is the single most important take-away from my Sun years, and it fits in a sentence: The community of developers whose work you see on the Web, who probably don’t know what ADO or UML or JPA even stand for, deploy better systems at less cost in less time at lower risk than we see in the Enterprise. This is true even when you factor in the greater flexibility and velocity of startups."

"The reason most often cited by technical staff for avoiding debt altogether is the challenge of communicating the existence of technical debt to business staff and the challenge of helping business staff remember the implications of the technical debt that has previously been incurred. Everyone agrees that it's a good idea to incur debt late in a release cycle, but business staff can sometimes resist accounting for the time needed to pay off the debt on the next release cycle. The main issue seems to be that, unlike financial debt, technical debt is much less visible, and so people have an easier time ignoring it."

Beautiful. Need an iPhone version.

"You can be doing agile without performing any of the current recommended practices and you can perform all the recommended practices and still not be agile. Lots of teams believe they are practicing agile just because they are doing standups or TDD… That’s like pretending to be a musician because you have the best instrument."

"For those who have no control over which clients and projects come to them, there is still hope, because everyone on the web (not just professional designers and developers) has the ability to produce meaningful content, and every designer and developer additionally has the power to create products and services. As your own client, working alone, or with a carefully hand-picked team, you can produce great things".

Adaptive Path using Basecamp, Skype and ConceptShare. Been impressed by the latter, in particular (although there are plenty of other services doing the same thing).

"FTP Replacement, Large File Transfer, Custom Extranets"

"A friendly discussion forum on the art and science of managing teams and leading projects."

“Is there Project Management Lingo?” Yes. Yes there is. My favourite in the comments: "What Would McGyver Do?"

Possible replacement for Harvest (which works reasonably well but is a little clunky). Harvest costs half as much per month for individuals, though.

Basecamp for bands. Nice idea, but pricing looks a bit skewiff.

"For some time now, I have thought that high-level project roadmaps (Gantt charts in particular) are one of the most worthless documents that a software project team can produce."

Basecamp alternative. "Combines group collaboration, project management and document sharing using social networking principles."

Automatically watches what you're doing and logs it. Not sure how you'd tie it to a specific job without intervention, though.

"Comment, annotate, and markup images, documents, and videos."

Reasonably accurate job descriptions for both roles (be interested in whether Producers/PMs agree)

"Some people are naturally wide, some people are naturally deep. But the assumption is, in most business contexts, that you can — and should want to — jump between the two as the need or situation dictates. But this is a load of crap."

"Over the last year or so at Fog Creek we’ve been developing a system that’s so easy even our grouchiest developers are willing to go along with it. And as far as we can tell, it produces extremely reliable schedules."

"A hosted Subversion system, making it easy for anyone to setup, browse, track, and manage Subversion repositories [...] has built-in integration with your favorite tools such as Basecamp, FogBugz, and Lighthouse."

"Teams are so fluid, project work is chaotic and project management is driven by marketing considerations (read: "get it out", not "enterprise stability") that site performance is seen as a server hardware issue."

"Whatever your skills as software developer or web designer (or whatever your web work career entails), you need to also understand the basics of estimating."

"An online tool that lets members work on projects with a team or on their own"

"50. Your manager spends his lunch hour crying in his car (another true story)"

"You can Change Your Organization or Change Your Organization."

"What project management (PM) is and what it isn't, [...] basics of the project lifecycle, [...] tools that you can use to make your projects run smoother, faster, and easier"

"SoloSEO helps SEO to be easier, by managing keywords, content, and link building all in one place."

"One of the difficulties for a first-time project manager is that being a great project resource (i.e. team member) is what gets you the job as project manager, nine times out of ten. Unfortunately, the characteristics of a great project resource are not

"Take the best features from applications like Trac, Collaboa, and GForge, then sprinkle in a few features from Mephisto and Typo."

"...brings simplicity back to time tracking. Quick to set up and easy to use, it provides you with insights on how your organization is spending its time."

"Project management doesn’t have to be complicated or time consuming, in fact I’m arguing that it’s better if it’s not."
