Trello

Hi, i've been using Trello a lot lately and i'm considering moving everything over from Evernote to Trello. Like many others on here, productivity and organisation are key to me.

While there is no right or wrong answer to my question(s), I would like to hear what other people's thoughts and setup are, in relation tot he following:

01 - when you have a list of items or tasks... how do you define whether you should add them as 'multiple cards on a list' or 'add all of the items as a checklist to one card' :-)

02 - has anyone else moved their notes from Evernote to Trello... how did you find the change?

03 - any regrets or dislikes with Trello

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello Everyone,
I am using Microsoft Project 2010. I would like to create a report showing the cost of my project per month. When I go to Project, Reports, Costs, Cash Flow, and generate the report, it seems to be exactly what I want but the report is empty! There are no values in the table cells. I have the report filtered for summary tasks if that makes a difference.

I can go to Task Usage view and select Cost in the Details group of the Format tab. That shows the values I want but there is no easy way to export the data. Also, it's difficult to get the time scale to show monthly in the columns.

I have tried Visual Reports and was able to get them to work after installing and older version of Excel, which is complete nonsense. However, I can't seem to get what I want. I can only create a useless pivot chart bar graph showing costs per quarter on one axis and cumulative cost on another axis. I tried to use the source data to create my own pivot table to get what I want but the source data is not even in the workbook. It's linked to some strange external data cube, whatever that is.

At this point I'm out of ideas. I can't believe it's this hard. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Kyle

Shared Folder

Hi,

We currently use Dropbox and Google Drive for sharing various different documents and files on a one to one basis... however i'd like to set up a shared folder (hub) and store key files that are used on a regular basis, and not just for once off sharing.

It is important that I can set various different permissions as i don't want various departments updating or editing some of the files and docs.

From your experience, which is a more suitable platform for a shared hub of files (not online docs)? We will always use Google Drive for docs and sheets, but which is better for a file storage repository case... Google Drive or Dropbox?

Here are some example file types and use cases that might explain this better:

- logos
- brand guidelines
- stock images
- templates (code)

It is important that 90% of the team can only read and copy the files, and that senior management are the only members of staff who can edit them.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Using MS Project I would like to show the task items and duration - start and end date. This is fairly easy and I can do that. I meet with developers and they provide me with the list of tasks and number of days to complete. I need to present this schedule to the program manager with the developers estimated days to complete the task and then my estimate and then the best possible estimate on how long would take to complete the project.

I read about PERT analysis and trying to do using MS Project 2012. Has anyone done some thing like this before and can share your thoughts?

thanks

Hi,

We are employing a new developer next week.

Our current developers have been working with us for a number of years and they have direct access to everything (which i know is not the best policy).

01 - What is the best way to rollout a new developer onto a project. We have a set roadmap for them to work on, so essentially they will need to access all of the code.

02 - How can you stop a developer from stealing the code, or at least put security precautions in place?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm an IT report developer with a few miles on my belt. Officially we are the Business Intelligence team. We use SAP Business Intelligence Suite 4.2, aka BusinessObjects. I remember James Martin back in the day (1990's) but haven't heard or read much about him, not that I'm the most well read person around. But I do have a pretty good library of software development books, from Karl Weigers to Steve McConnell to Gerald Weinberg, and "The Mythical Man Month". At the moment I'm trying to bring our organization into modern times in regards to Business Intelligence. What we have are awful legacy minded reports that no one uses, i.e., 85% of active OLTP users run NO reports (and the OLTP itself is a 1990's style system).

We are also trying to bring in Crystal Reports for high-end reporting, and other tools for "Dashboards".

Around here it's a totally legacy mindset, to include a CIO who's up there in years and is totally old-school, constantly referencing to James Martin and his approach. So is JM still a "classic" who's books should be on my shelf (to include reading them)? In order to influence the organization to "get modern", I have to start by convincing the CIO that there's a better way nowadays (to Business Intelligence). Also, no one around here knows how to spell "agile".

Do you have a recommended James Martin classic or two, at least so I can be able to step up intellectually to where the CIO is coming from? And while I'm at it, any other classic books / …

Hi
I have a Waterfall Project Plan I created in MS Project 2013. I want to create a Milestone Report off this (which includes subtasks).

How should my Waterfall plan be set up?

Any assistance is appreciated.

Hello Experts,

Currently the Atlassian applications along with the Postgres databases reside on 1 VM.

I am looking for any recommendations for splitting up the applications/databases and platform options to integrate the Atlassian applications on (VM, Docker or AWS).

We have 100 users split between the US and UK.

You always hear about the feedback sandwich, but I like this 3x3 rule. One of the most important aspects to being able to improve, is to be able to receive feedback and adjust appropriately.

This looks like the simplest possible way to track time for projects.

How would one bill for the hours when they're not recording the screen? Not all work is done on computers. Research, client interactions, production meetings, etc often take up just as much time if not more than the actual project work. I don't see screen recording as building an honest relationship, I see it as trusting nobody.

How would one bill for the hours when they're not recording the screen? Not all work is done on computers.

No worries, for this type of thing you can enter the hours into the time app. They're just shown as 'offline' type hours.

I don't see screen recording as building an honest relationship, I see it as trusting nobody.

Personally, trust is something that is built over time. Acting as a consultant, I record my screen as a way to ensure that in the event of some sort of miscommunication, there is no doubt as to my intentions or work ethic. I don't expect that every person I hire would have the same openness.

Punch clocks, "security" cameras, screen recorders, etc., can all be viewed from both positive and negative perspectives. At their very core, they are simply record keepers.

Hello,

Now having a situations where there are 2 projects occurring, at the same time, on the same section of code in a webpage. Looking for suggestions on how to manage each project so that project 1 doesn't overwrite code in project 2. The projects are more complex then listed below. The time to complete each project is usually due to slow movement from testing to production.

Simple Example:
Have an employee table and an employees info page. Project 1: Format the phone number. Project 2: Change the phone number from 1 column in the table to another column in the table.
Both would affect the same area of code in the web page.

Is there a standard way of managing this so the development doesn't overwrite each other when updated? Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks
Jess

Hello EE,

I am looking for guidance on how your team defines IT projects v.s. just regular user requests and tasks?
Is it based on hours alone or collaboration among more than one person?
