Project Management features?

Has Encore 2.0 any kind of project manager features built in? For example can a project be archived and retrieved with no fear of a major screw-up??
I'm asking as I'm sure both 1.0 and 1.5 crapped out and insisted on absolute paths when re-locating assets... I'm intrigued!!

The safest way to archive any project is probably to use the "Save As" option.
This will recreate everything you need all in the location you specify.
It is always for the best to assume that once you have closed EncoreDVD that you should NOT move any of the folders around.
Relocating offline assets is a lot better in 2.0 however.

Project management software?

I am looking for a package that works well, adheres to the Mac look and feel and otherwise helps to plan a project.
Gannt charts and other graphical representations are the key. I want to represent the different work streams so everyone can 'see' the project. Critical path analysis and other project management features are important if it impacts how people can visualize the project. I am not trying to micro manage the resource costs or other details so I can sacrifice some features for ease of use.
Your thoughts and specific recommendations?

OmniPlan or Merlin.
Thanks.
Do you have a favorite?
I noticed that Merlin is integrated with NovaMind so I can create a mindmap and then use the mind map to start building the project plan.
I happen to use OmniFocus so I am familiar with the Omni Group. No experience with OmniPlan. Actually, I knew one of the founders back when they were a NeXT developer.

Project Management using Solution Manager

Hi,
We are trying to use solution Manager for managing our IT projects - specifically for SAP projects.
We browsed through the existing functionalities that are available and are not able to get info on the following:
___Project Admin tab for Roadmaps :_ __ In the transaction RMMAIN, we are able to define the scope of the activities at each phase and assign team members and track the status of the activity / task.
However we do not have the tab for tracking the planned start date / end date and the actual start / end dates. Similar is the case for efforts.
So not sure how to track these?
Integration of Roadmaps and Blueprints : Once we have defined the project and assigned the Roadmap, we have all the activities that need to be tracked. In addition in transaction SOLAR01 / SOLAR02, we can define the scope and configurations which in itself are a kind of sub projects to be embedded withing the Blueprint and realization phases respectively of the main Projetc Plan.
How to link these Blueprint specific plan and the realization related plan to the main project plan created out of the Roadmap chosen and to track them as one single project?
Synchronization wih ms project : I see only the option to download the plan as an mpp file. But is there any option to upload mpp as well so that the project can be tracked using mpp and synchronized with Solution manager at frequent intervals?
Your answers would definitely be helping us a lot and would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.
regards,
suresh velan

Hi Suresh,
Solution Manager is a Project Management tool. But it is not for Project Planning. If you want to do Project Planning also from the SolMan system, then you have to enable cProjects component of SolMan.
Synchronization between your MS Project and cProjects is possible. But synchronization between SolMan's RoadMap/Blueprint and MS Project is not possible.
In RoadMap, you can capture and track the status of all phase-wise activities as to what is their status. Here capturing date details is not possible.
In Blueprint/Configuration you can capture and keep track of the individual object's blueprinting and configuration activities. Here you can capture the planned/actual start/end dates for each object.
As I said earlier, Solution Manager provides lot of Project Management features, but Project Planning is not possible. For that we have to start using cProjects component in SolMan.
Hope it helps.
best regds,
Alagammai.

Project manager loses audio waveform

Using the Project Manager feature in Premiere 8.1, to trim and collect assets to a new folder, I noticed that my audio waveform displays are no longer visible for all footage. Only one piece of footage shows the waveform, but all others do not. The audio plays back fine, but the waveform graphic does not display in either the timeline or the source monitor. Is there a way to re-generate these waveforms?

After closing the project, quitting and restarting Premiere and reopening the project (a couple times) the project sequences finally re-drew the audio waveforms. I have seen delays in waveform generation when receiving projects from other editors. This particular project only contained a couple sequences with single test files ranging 3 to 5 seconds in length, so I expected them to redraw fairly quickly. So, it finally worked, but required quitting Premiere and re-opening/closing the project file a few times to generate audio waveforms.

Is Oracle Project Management has all features which Microsoft Project Plan?

Hello Experts,
Customer wanted to start using Oracle Project Management suit completly along with little Microsoft project plan. as of now most of the projects are using microsoft project plan for project management and Oracle Project suit is for Costing and Billing.
But in order to start this initiative, we need to explain the difference which Oracle Project Management can not able to do but Microsoft project plan can. Based on this management will take the decesion.
As per my understanding, Orace Project Management can perform all the tasks except scheduling. As it supports scheduling from third party software like Microsoft project plan / primavera etc.
Rest I think Oracle Project management suit is equally matured to perform all the project management task which Mircosoft project management can perform.
So experts , can you please confirm my understanding and provide me some light on this topic.
Thanks :-)

Hi,
First of all, I would like to know what are the various things you are performing with a Microsoft project plan apart from scheduling the resources to a specific project .
Through Oracle Project Management, you can control the visibility of a resource,assign it to a particular project and control the tracking of the time in various assignments.If that is what you are trying to achieve through Oracle Project Management icnluding the other features it has, you can surely go for it.
Let me know if you have any doubts on it.

Feature Request: Project Manager Trim Compatibility with all formats please!

It's 2013, Premiere Pro CC is out, and is more "Final Cut Pro" than ever (thanks Adobe), but there are still some basic things that need to be fixed. This is a DOOZY!...
With DSLR media being used pretty much everywhere, the inability to created trimmed projects using Project Manager for H.264 clips (and GoPro clips, and more!) is simply insane. Seriously?
Help me Adobe.... please...
thanks

Actually, Kevin works right across the San Francisco Bay from where I live. So yes, he is here in the USA.
You will occasionally get some answers around here from people with Indian names, but we are happy to have them on the forums.
The conversation about how to deal with the various codecs has been going on for some time, and the more people who request the feature, the more likely they will get it done. I don't like to say that the squeeky wheel gets the grease, but pretty much? It does!
I know they are thinking about it because of some of the comments I have seen and emails I have received. It appears to be fairly complicated, but personally, I think it is well worth the effort.
I would like to be able to ingest subclips from Prelude without transcoding (I don't use Prelude because it is useless to me without this feature). Once ingested, if I only use part of a clip, I want it trimmed in the Project Manager to just the footage I might need in the future if I have to make minor adjustments. And yes, that includes handles. So if handles solve part of the problem, that's fine.

Feature Request: AE Collect Option in PPro Project Manager

While PPro Project Manager collects linked AEP projects, it falls short of collecting assets embedded with the AEP project itself. This results in the user having to re-open the AEP project, locate and copy the original embedded media to new location and relink.
Another option is to open the original AEP Project, perform a collectioning within AEP, then having to manually import and replace the media on the timeline in the newly collected PPro. Tedious considering the complexity of AEPs that can run several layers deep with many assets.
Is this feature possible to add in the next round of updates?

The feature request site appears to be down now, but you should go here when it's back up:

Project Management Wishlist (hoping for software or online solutions)

hi all.
i've converted the office to mac over the last two plus years and need to put a second level of organization to bed.
would anyone mind helping me find other websites and/or suggestions on how to get this finalized? apologies for the length and intricacy of the post but THANKS for any help on this! even just one good lead or recommendation (say for FileMaker or one of the Devon tools could help me get moving forward with it and not have to backtrack).
i work on PROJECTS that seem to need various kinds of data. some notetaking, imagery, url's. pages documents, pages documents printed to pdf, some pdfs that others created, spreadsheets, various creative files such as CAD, photoshop, indesign etecetera - and of course email and text and phone conversations. i would really ideally love to pull all this together but of course i know this is not realistic.
i also really need to communicate some of this information with clients and have them communicate back to me, right now this is a terrible mess and extremely unproductive with widely dispersed and duplicated information (at a bare minimum).
i have finally customized my images in Aperture but still need to organize my pdf's and my videos. i also find Spotlight to be rather unhelpful for some items and in reading up on Devon, one of their tools has a /graphic/ search display that somehow shows linked items and whether they have been "read" or not. this kind of VISUAL ORGANIZATION would be absolutely fantastic [http://www.devontechnologies.com/products/devonagent/overview.html]. i should also add that what i /don't/ want to do is to have to catalog my project file by file and simply DRAGGING and DROPPING files to create a link if my ideal organizational method. tagging items with the GTD tools that i have tested is a non-starter for me and i actually don't even use tags in my Aperture database. i just drag and drop them to an appropriate Project.
currently an example workflow for my Aperture database is that i POST these images to flickr to let a client see what kind of imagery i am using in their project (but they cannot upload /their/ imagery). nevertheless, this is very convenient because i can simply create an ALBUM in Aperture and drop the (pre-organized) imagery in there and post it to flickr from within the Aperture UI. this is really great but getting this link to a client is a bit of a pain because even flickr Pro uses some silly thing where you have to decide whether the recipient is a "friend" or "family" and ostensibly anyone that gets determined as one or the other can see all the other images in this category. it would be a whole lot better if i could just create an Album for a particular client. of course it would be great to
in any event -
in an ideal world (off the top of my head i would like) the ability to create a "Project" in my computer which organizes the following and /also/ allows me to post this to a place where Clients can have a LOGIN and PASSWORD that allows them to both view and UPLOAD information.
1. bookmarks
2. pdfs
3. spreadsheets
4. contact list
5. images
6. other files
7. a lot that i am forgetting to include here.
it would also be great to be able to organize PHONE CALLS and TEXTS and EMAILS on my computer so that i can have a record of communication with and FOR this client.
i would also like to get most or much of this to my iPhone if at all possible!

Ipolucci,
I am a teacher and so I do not have your needs to really understand your requests.
That said, I would reccomend you FileMaker Pro and Journler ( currently at version 1.1.62, running by Mac OS X 10.3.9 , the version I have and already in versio 2.0.1 for those who have 10.4).
The first one is a relational commercial DB of an Apple subsidiary, with several template solutions ( probably one will fill your needs ) and the second one is a freeware, that has integration with Mail, Adress Book, Blogs, Photos, Audio recordings, iTunes and more.
Just in case does not come anyone else with the complete solution, you should consider a free trial of FileMaker Pro (just released the version 8.5) and take a look at Journler.
Both at <http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/>

Is it possible to export, and include AE compositions used within a Premiere Pro project, via project manager?

I've several Premiere Pro CC 2014 projects I want to relocate via project manager (one at a time). They're excessive in size (many long and unused footage files), so "Create New Trimmed Project" is the setting-option, within project manager, most attractive. BTW I love how project manager does this... However, when I check on its new location, I don't see any linked AfterEffects files. Fine, I try the other setting "Collect Files and Copy to New Location". This option allows me to now copy everything including rendered scenes featuring my AE compositions (and a lot of excess, unused files)... but still no AE files!
Is it possible to export a Premiere Pro project, excluding unused files, yet include all used files... especially linked files such as AE compositions?

Though not exactly the solution I seek, I've tried an alternative approach... it works (if anyone's interested)... but my original question still stands.
Alternative approach (and probably the only option now):
When I copy & trim my Premiere Pro project via project manager to its new location, I can open the new file and see the track editor now includes broken links to AfterEffects compositions. Since I don't wish to relink these to the current .AEP file, I may package** the original AE project to a location near my newly-located Premiere Pro project folder. To do this, I open the original .AEP file containing any compositions linked to my original Premiere Pro project, and use File < Dependencies < Collect Files. This feature copies all files (and a new .AEP copy) from this AE project to my newly selected destination (as long as no files are missing).
So at this point, when I open my newly-located PP project, I can relink the broken AfterEffects composition links in PP to the new .AEP file. Yay!
**package (for those unaware) is the term used within Adobe InDesign. This feature gathers all linked files that makeup the overall design and layout, and copies into a new folder.

Using BC as a Project Management System

Hi Guys,
I'm new to business catalyst, I have signed up to the WebMarketing package and have created my first site. I am including several features to the site including a private forum and several forms for submitting data. I would also like to have a private area to manage projects between the members of the site. This would have task breakdowns, assigning particular tasks to different members and due dates with % completed data, ideally there should be a document system where the work can be saved and linked to on the task page. I just need some advice on whether or not this is possible using business catalyst or if I need to use some external software.
Kind regards,
Mitchell Ransom

Since BC doesn't allow you to run server side code or access the data base directly, I can not see the way of doing it at BC end. That said, you can look at different project management solutions out there and perhaps customise it to match the look and feel of your BC site. I'm quite sure that redmine allows this. Check it out at http://www.redmine.org/. Depending on the level of customisation you require you may have to learn some Ruby on Rails.
Cheers,

Thanks very much for taking the time to post the info Florian. I will update this thread as well if I run into any new information.
Do we have any idea on SAP's direction for Product Definition? PD is still version 2.0 and I heard that PD functionality will be incorporated into PPM 5.0 which does make a lot of sense. I very briefly went through the notes and config doc in this post and did not get the impression that PPM has any idea and concept management capabilities.

Project Management/Bug Tracking tools...

We are growing from a single person team to a team of 5-6 people and it’s getting harder to keep the project straight, so I want to look at project management tools…
Specifically I want to have a bug/new features tracker, the ability to develop test cases for the bug/new feature (plus regression tests) the ability to interface with CM software (Subversion) and of course scheduling…
There are high end commercial products out there (Microsoft has MS Project and it’s Sharepoint product has bug tracking capability) and some open source (Jira and SpiraTeam for example) but does Oracle have anything to do this (especially one that able to work within the JDeveloper/SOA environment?)
Any suggestions are appreciated..
Thanks in advance.
Michael

Take a look at Oracle Team Productivity Center - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/tpc/index.html
It integrates 3rd party tools such as Bugzilla, JIRA, Microsoft Project Server & Rally Software into the JDeveloper IDE - letting you assign tasks, keep track of related files and integrate with Subversion, CVS etc...

Is there good project management options for OS X server?

We are a small (3 person) shop and want to host our own project management solution. We would love to share project info and assign tasks etc... Does anyone do thin on their own server? We have used Manymoon and now Do.com.

There are a few options for self hosted project management you can consider, but most are considerably more complicated to use than either Do or Manymoon. Here are some examples of things you can look at, in order of declining 'project management' competence. For each item there are others available I've not mentioned, but if you search for any of these you'll soon find the alternatives via Google. So, have a look at:
* Merlin - A full featured project management package a bit like MS Project, but runs native on OS X and has pretty functional iThing clients too (though they don't yet support iOS7...). Quite expensive - but each client has the ability to share projects across a LAN (or WAN), so you can do stuff without buying the server app (which is very expensive). Steep learning curve for app. http://www.projectwizards.net/en/
* ActiveCollab - a self-hosted php based groupware portal system. Originally started as an open source competitor / complement of the earliest forms of Basecamp, it has long ago evolved into its own thing but filling broadly the same space. Requires an Apache2/MySQL/PHP installation to run, and allows the sharing of information about projects, along with a fairly complex project management capability. All the pros / cons of web based service apply. Much easier to learn to use, and deploy than Merlin. https://www.activecollab.com
* Studiometry - a different take on the problem, this is an attempt at a whole-business management app for small firms, covering everything from sales pipeline tracking through to simple CRM and invoice management. Has the ability to share files related to projects, and allocate / track tasks within a group. Has clients for OS X, Windows and iOS. As with Merlin, has network sharing abilities built into each client, so no need for a 'server' to make it work, but in practical terms you need an 'always on' copy to act as hub for an office. http://oranged.net
* BusyCal - a much simpler solution, but if you are looking to replace Do.com then it might be all you need. Allows you to share calendar / task information on a LAN, and offers somewhat enhanced calendar functions to regular OS X. http://www.busymac.com/busycal/

Project management sofware to aid InDesign

I stumble upon this
articlewhich features 43 compared project management software alternatives and I am still having problem on what to choose that would be perfect for InDesign.

Graham,
Have you considered doing this:
Use InDesign and generate the number of pages needed for your publication.
Setup a separate layer called 'flatplan'.
Set-up different object styles that would apply a different colour for different content-zones (e.g. editorial, ad etc.), and include in the object-style a paragraph style reference and text-inset so that you can also type some details for each content-zone (e.g. ad-number or something).
Once you've completed the flat-plan in InDesign
You can communicate to others for instance by printing it as thumbnails (In Print > Setup, enable Thumbnails).
You could even use your publication template for this and just add the flatplan related layer and styles to it.
As long as you use a separate layer for your flatplan info, you can change that layer to 'non-printing' when production is completed, and you can also use it to retain status information for your publication during the production process.
It's not automatic... but if you've already got InDesign its definitely not costing you anything extra ;-)
I'm not aware of a flatplan plug-in for InDesign. I did come across:

11i to 12 Project Management Deltas

Hi Everyone,
I need to take a self-study course on Project Management, and the only course that comes close to fitting the bill from Oracle University is ORACLE 11I10 PROJECT FOUNDATION FUNDAMENTALS SELF-STUDY. However, I'll be working with R12, and I don't know how drastically functionality and features have changed between 11i and 12 in Projects. Can anyone either provide me with a quick summary of the deltas between 11i and 12 or point me to a document that I can use as a reference?
Thanks in advance!
Maria
