I have used www.trello.com (for my personal to-do list) and Greenhopper<https://www.atlassian.com/software/greenhopper/overview>for software project management, (though it can also be used for your scenario ) and would recommend them strongly. The key principle underlying these software tools is lean production<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_manufacturing> and agile systems. You can read more about it here<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanban_%28development%29>, here <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanban_board>and here<http://www.methodsandtools.com/archive/archive.php?id=104> Hope this helps On Wed, Jul 31, 2013 at 10:34 AM, Eva Kimathi <evakimathi@gmail.com> wrote:
@Benjamin @Chiteri thanks, I am looking at Redmine and I have to say it looks pretty close to what I need. I am also exploring the Trac wiki system. Thanks you guys :)

Hi Eva,
I have used Trac wiki system (Python) before but not for project management purposes per se. I hear Redmine (Ruby) is good too. Both are free pieces of Software.
Try JIRA if you need a commercial issue tracking / project management tool with support.

Context: a project manager can create a team of 5 employees. the project is broken down into tasks and assigned to the employees, for instance procurement of a server and installation.
PersonPM: Manage this project PersonIT: get specifications, inspect product (submit progress report) PersonProcurement: create LPO, process Invoice, add to inventory (submit progress report) personLogistics: facilitate transport to installation site (submit progress report) person accounts: facilitate purchase, balance books (submit progress report)
The PMs and the administrators should be able to monitor employee performance The users should have a dashboard that has - teams they are member of - tasks they've been assigned and report upload

Hello all,
I hope you are doing great, especially in this weather.
In an environment with a large group of employees and various tasks assigned by different managers to the employees, what would be the best way/tool to gauge progress per task?
