Managing a project means providing tools and processes to give each project member's
contributions their greatest possible impact.
Create a TeamForge project
Create a new project when you have identified work to be done that has its own distinct character, dependencies or schedule.
Build your project web site
Project members and other users need to know how to interact with your project. You can give them the information and tools they need by creating and maintaining a project web site tailored to them.
Set up trackers
A tracker is a collection of related artifacts that describe work to be done or issues to be resolved. Every project should have one or more trackers.
Document your work
The document management system is a centralized repository for creating, storing, and managing information about a project.
Manage a product with CollabNet TeamForge
A product owner can use TeamForge to help define the scope of a product and contribute to its planning and implementation.
Manage task work flow
As a task administrator, you can control how users move tasks along under various conditions.
Reporting in TeamForge
Generate a report to get a snapshot of what is going on in a project. You can generate reports on data stored in both TeamForge's production (operational) database or datamart. Datamart, also known as the Reporting database, is built by extracting, transforming and loading (ETL) TeamForge's production data to a separate database (datamart) at regular intervals.
Control project access
To control who can access your project, consider the purpose of your project and the appropriate type of user.
Manage project membership
You can add or remove project members on their request or on your own initiative.
Create a project template
To make it easier to start projects, provide project templates based on existing projects.
Categorize a project
Organizing projects by categories can help users find what they need on a site quickly and easily.
Add a parent project to your project
You can coordinate work among multiple projects; enable the user, user group and role inheritance by adding a common parent project to several projects.
Separate a subproject from its parent project
When a subproject grows beyond its original scope, you may want to make it stand-alone project or move it to a different project hierarchy.
Require a wiki version comment
To help keep track of changes to a Wiki page, require users to record a comment about their changes when they save the page.
Provision hardware for project members
You can use TeamForgeLab Management to provision physical or virtual hardware on which project members can remotely build and test their code.
Set up Tags
Creating tags and tagging items such as documents, artifacts and so on can aid in classification, marking ownership of work items, marking items as milestones, releases and requirements, and so on. Project Administrators can set up tags to be used by project members in a project. However, project members with CREATE/EDIT permissions can create tags, if required.
