Project Management in J2EE-Development

Hi all, unfortunatley there is no forum for project management issues, so maybe I will bother some of you with non-technical questions:
Is there any learning material e.g. books, forums, newsgroups, tutorials related to the topic of project managment in J2EE-Development? I'm particularly interessted in questions like:
- Team organisation. Function-oriented or component-oriented?
- Development Process. Is there anything like a RUP customised for J2EE-Projects? Mandatory roles and artifacts you need in any project?
- Effort estimations. Has anyone ever heard about experiences with formal estimation technics like function point analysis in J2EE-Projects?
- Risk Management. What are the typical risks in J2EE-Projects and how do you manage them?
- Quality Assurance... is very difficult in distributed computing. Are there any recomendations and tools for successfull QA?
- Reports, lessons leard and best practices of large J2EE-Projects?
Many thanks for your contribution!

Those should be decent entry points as far as I can say. Regarding the other things you want to know about, I guess that there is too much room in the term J2EE Project, to answer those. Mainly your choice of Application Server and other technology used will have quite an impact, and so will the choice of your development tools.
We have been developing with J2EE for more than a year now, but our tools and environments are still changing a lot. Thus sound estimation is quite tough.

Help with J2EE Project Management

Hi,
We are about to begin a large J2EE project and are wondering if anyone could help with the following questions:
1. Given the division of labor on J2EE projects (JSP developers, EJB developers, application deployers, etc...), what are "best practices" for building a team and ensuring that they communicate well after the design phase? How will the left arm know what the right arm is doing?
2. What documentation should be produced during the design phase to give to the developers? Will this allow them to go off and develop independently of each other?
3. Is there a "best practices" document anywhere on J2EE project management?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi,
I feel any project to start with should have a prior planning,that too particularly for Object oriented programming projects,I feel UML is the best tool for entire process.I think rational software has got lot of Project Management Tools(PMT) and products at all stages.Please go through the rational.com site and hope you could find some info.I feel the answer to your second question is partly 'yes' and partly 'no'.The modules that you can split it up which have got some independent attributes,but it should not be too much in your project,then it affects the work matrix/There should be a optimal process to decide and that you can yourself formulate depending on the time frame,either way the last step of build or integration is not flexible enough that you should mind,modular flexibility can be there but the integration stage you are tied with a fixed process.So plan accordingly using a PMT tool for any project that matters and all the best.Bye

Project Management duties on Web Developer Project

As a Project Managment Leader in a Web Developers work shop what are the main duties of a Project Manager?
Here is what I have so far:
1st Step - Gather Requirements
2nd Step - List the Tasks which would include the Database design, Data Modeling, Scripts, and Testing.
3rd Step - Define each Task Duration (or estimated Completion date)
4th Step - Assign Resources and/or Technology, Also give out max units of each resource to define how much time they will be spending on the Project.
Also give Estimate Project Completion date.
5th Step - Define Milestones when specific Tasks should be completed
6th Step - Plan and set up Test environment
Please advise.

Step 7 - go back and reanalyse requirements as the client has changed their mind
Step 8 - Shift estimate of Project completion date back due to unforseen complexities
Step 9 - Scrap the test plan in the interests of getting it out the door quickly
Step 10 - rewrite the entire application from scratch using .net technologies
But seriously - don't forget to factor in for the unforseen. These projects always take longer than anyone thinks they should. Don't set your milestone dates in concrete. "I love deadlines. I love the 'whoosh' sound they make as they go past."
Seriously that I think is what makes or breaks a project manager. Not the pretty pictures and unrealistic timescale diagrams that they churn out, that everyone then faithfully ignores, but the ability to deal with issues as they arise

Project management tools

hello all.
im curious as to what other people are currently using for
project management, wire framing, versioning, etc in their
development environment. we are a coldfusion mx7 shop w/ ms sql.
our applications adhere to the MVC structure and modeled using
fusebox 5.0.
my company is currently looking for solutions available for:
wireframe flip / uml software;
bug tracking / ticketing software;
file versioning;
time tracking management;
thanks much!
aaron

For versioning you cannot do better than Subversion(svn) it
is just a complete God send and free to boot, plus if you use
Eclipse (if not why not) then there is a Subclipse plugin which
makes life easy too.

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/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...

Project management software advice

Hello - I work for a small company - half Mac users and half PC - and we need to get project management software which is compatible with MS Project - any advice please? Cheers Simon

Try
Merlin
<http://projectwizards.net/en/merlin/>
You can also try
Open Project
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/openproj/>
but I don't know if it's still in active development. OmniPlan can import MS Project files, but I don't know if that's practical for your needs.
In a Mac/Win environment, the only practical solution may be to run MS Project in a virtual machine like Parallels or Fusion, or perhaps virtualised with CrossOver.

Project management + Source Control

we are using labview 8.5 and not well known source control in a team environment. I'm not sure if it is the souce control that I'm using or other searsons, but I had so much trouble using those combination. I want to know what others thought about project management and/or source control in general.
Thanks,
- Jimmy
- Jimmy

Hi!
   Actually, I've never merged, since I'm the only LabView guy on our development team
   I absolutely agree with the fact that SVN is a good tool, but I should confess that I didn't spend much time in evaluating many other tools (never tried MS tools), for this I rely on my colleagues' opinion.
   I can report that SVN is being used in a graphic studio for pictures versioning of course, they don't need to merge images There's virtually no limit in SVN use...

Does anyone know a simple project management transaction (not PS)

Hi,
I'm working on SAP R/3 4.6C.
I'm an apprentice (French student-employe), and my boss ask me to deploy a system with he can follow the developpements advance.
The idea is :
The developpers fill daily the time past on a program witch is attach at a project (in Man/Day). then we'll be able to know how many days are consumed on a project.
I want found a <u>simple</u> standard transaction, because I've found the Project System, but it's not simple to deploye and use.
If I dont found, I will develop this, but it's not the goal.
Thanks!

nicholas,
Am not sure there is somethign of what you are asking for... since this would involve Project Management activities such as :
1. Creating an activity
2. Assigning people to the same
3. Assigning time for the same
4. tracking the same through timesheets
I would still suggest that you go with PS since the logic is already built in. But then if it is going to be much simpler that PS , you could go for something custom but would have to do a lot of interfacing with CATS etc...

J2EE Development Component - How to change vendor name

Hi,
While creating a new J2EE Development Component, I didn't change vendor name and have created complete application,
Now I want to update vendor name, can you please help me out how vendor name can be changed in existing application.
Thanks

I have not tried it myself, however:
Try updating the references in your application-j2ee-engine.xml.
You may need to rename your project as well.
Good luck, Roelof
