my most effective peer does 100% of her project management in powerpoint with a free timeline plugin she got off an adware site - your softwre doesnt rly matter its much more important to understand what everyone needs to do and who you need to talk to

I think I’m going to create the ultimate software development methodology. It’ll be revolutionary compared to others because it will focus on the one thing that gets software done. Its entire focus will be this one, glorious, completely useful activity for writing software. It’s name even embodies the perfection of this programming methodology. The name is: Programming, Motherfucker That’s right, my software development methodology will be: programming, motherfucker. How will we solve problems? By programming, motherfucker. How will we do testing? By programming, motherfucker. How will be complete tasks on time and under budget? By programming, motherfucker. How will we make sure the programmers are happy and doing their jobs? By programming, motherfucker. Obviously there’s some details to this so let’s lay out how you do this amazing new process: Write out a list of poo poo to do, using software written with some programming, motherfucker. Do some of the poo poo, again using programming, motherfucker. Test if that poo poo’s any good, and if not then go fix it with programming, motherfucker. Then you just run this in a while loop until it’s done. It’s awesome because it does the one thing that actually gets software up and running. Pretty much all the other methodologies are about the analog to Programming, Motherfucker which is… Management, rear end in a top hat To help with Programming, Motherfucker, you need some Management, rear end in a top hat. Management, rear end in a top hat is all about making sure that Programming is allowed to happen, Motherfucker. Management goes out and sees if the poo poo being built will sell, runs the business, tracks what’s going on, works out the marketing, figures out the strategic plans, orders the cookies and sodas, anything that’s not…Programming, Motherfucker. To do Management, rear end in a top hat, you just do this: Find out what the customers want by asking them. Get what the Programming Motherfuckers need to get poo poo done. Tell the Programming Motherfuckers when their poo poo is not good enough to sell. It’d work great. I’m sure of it, and poo poo, it’s gotta be better than whatever obsession has gripped the software industry these days since it’s actually doing…Programming, Motherfucker. P.S. If you need it to have a Japanese sounding name, then call it “Puroguramingu, Mazaafakkaa”

I have never had a Project not turn out excellently. working on a project that becomes a catastrophic failure is character building and will teach you more about How To Get poo poo Done than a bunch of successful ones ever will. everyone should have to suffer through it once, then never speak of it again except in hushed tones to other people who failed with them.

Kirk posted:just use trello, op basecamp is decent but it is clearly designed for programmers, and not for people who need to track the status of work items vis a vis clients – like color coding, which items are we waiting on clients to get back to us about, which items are on us, where in our process cycle is this item vs that item and etc etc afaik its basically a cute way of sharing to do lists, which is helpful but pretty weak mayne

As a Millennial I posted:By programming, motherfucker. i'm doing this job right now where i'm doing front-end, back-end, building and deployment, testing, and making the odd ad-hoc design choice all i knew at the beginning was that i wanted to use node and javascript i kind of wish i had a better idea of my software stack beyond that in the beginning. basically i wish i had 5 years more experience at the beginning lol cause then i would have just don't everything right the first time. but i can see some value in project management, or at least having a plan i've built a few things now just to be town down and replaced by some better middleware i didn't know existed

yes it tuns out 90% of the time the problem you want to solve has already been solved by someone else most of my job is finding creative new way do avoid doing anything, which is why planning is key
