How does xProject work?
xProject utilises tickets to track and monitor software development. Tickets are used to:
* Assign tasks, defect reports or feature requests by both the development team and the general public via the new ticket screen.
* Once a ticket is created it can be tracked, by project, on the tickets page.
* Development managers then assign these tickets to developers and choose a target milestone for completion. Once assigned to a milestone xProject automatically re-adjusts the roadmap progress status.
* The timeline view shows all project activities on a daily breakdown.
* Once a milestone is reached it is published as a release, to which files can be assigned. The release page generates a change log based on tickets attached to a milestone.
* Released files are secured and a detailed download log is provided.
Why use xProject.
* Encourages a transparent development model. End users can track the development process and participate by submitting defect reports and feature requests. Once submitted, they can track their progress.
* Provides a tool in which key milestones are set for a software application. Key targets and features can then be set via tickets. xProject then updates milestone progress based on ticket completion.
* Provides a detailed breakdown and filtering mechanism for viewing tickets. These can be viewed by milestone, component, completion status etc...
