Chapter 5. Managing Projects
Unfortunately, or fortunately, this chapter is not about the project management bit which is part of software engineering, but about managing projects in Redmine. Despite this, it is actually targeted at project managers (as well as project owners and the like). Thus, it describes what tools are available for projects and how they can be used. Even so, this chapter should not be ignored by regular users as it teaches them how to find the needed information, where to put requests, how to keep a track of changes in a project, and much more.
If the previous chapter described Redmine as an issue tracker, this one reviews it as a project management and project hosting solution. This is a kind of secondary role served by Redmine.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Modules
- The global configuration
- Creating a project
- The project pages
- The project configuration
- Closing a project
- The project list
- Project maintenance best practices
- Administering projects...
