DevPlanner is a time planning and to-do list software that allows keeping track
of projects, personal tasks, and other activities. Main idea of DevPlanner based
on four terms:
task,
estimation,
daily schedule and
"self-imposed" deadline.
These four things are really important for managing tasks and gathering time
feedback, as result improving individual productivity and estimating skills.
How DevPlanner helps in being more productive?
DevPlanner carefully stores tasks grouped in categories, stages, projects or any
other units required. These tasks are source for planning and
time tracking.
Each task can be estimated, deadlined, prioritized and scheduled once or more
for today or later date. No need to remember tasks, DevPlanner will do it for
You. Just fill your daily time using already defined tasks or define other tasks
in any time you need.
What is a colors list on the right pane of DevPlanner?
New release of DevPlanner includes exciting possibility to
track emotional state
by selecting appropriate color. Mood changing statistics can be visualized in
Mood Map using DevPlanner report template of the same name. This is a valuable
source for placing right tasks to the right time. For example, almost every
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning I'm fresh and exciting. This time I prefer
using for important meetings and learning.
How to manage team using DevPlanner?
DevPlanner spreads team improvements by providing more freedom and self
management for developers. It motivates to use oral communication between team
members, that is more agile and work impressing. Additionally DevPlanner helps
building individual weekly and
project reports.
Why not timesheet software?
The problem of any timesheet software is a requirement for decency of employee.
Most of us are usually filling timesheets on request or at the end of week. It's
very hard to remind tasks and time spent on each. In opposite, DevPlanner allows
collecting time taken by every task implicitly. While people perform usual daily
work with personal planning and become more productive, the planning data can be
reused to build accurate
timesheet reports.
What about truthfulness of DevPlanner timesheet reports?
DevPlanner calculates time spent for every individual task internally. There is
no need to ask user to enter time spent. Rather it queries daily planning data.
How to improve?
While planning something we are usually trying to predict how long can it take
or simply estimating. DevPlanner accurately calculates real time spent for every
task. Comparing estimation and reality can highlight underestimations and
delayed tasks. These tasks are good subject for learning and a key to improved
productivity. While there is usually no time to review causes of delay or
underestimation right after the completion of an individual task, it's a good
idea to review such tasks on completion of stage or on a weekly meeting. Reports
Stage Overestimation and
Project Activity show problematic tasks. Pareto principle "80/20" tells
us that 80% of delays can be easily removed.
How to keep privacy of employee personal tasks?
Effective management does not require to know all employee tasks, but only
related to the work or a project. DevPlanner allows selecting category for
reporting. All tasks outside of selected category, including non working
activities, can be excluded from a report.
How to customize reports?
DevPlanner allows
customizing report templates.
Report templates are XSL files. There is a good set of predefined
report templates:
project reports,
timesheet reports and
task list reports. Custom templates are stored in a personal folder,
thus will not be overridden by DevPlanner updates.
