Читать книгу IT Architecture from A to Z: Theoretical basis. First Edition - Vadim Aldzhanov - Страница 53

How and what project management tools should be chosen? There are dozens of tools on the market within the wide price range. Implementing some of them can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Like choosing the Enterprise Architecture managing tools, I recommend using free or low-cost tools whenever possible.

What are the minimum requirements for tools? What should they help you do?

• Write and edit texts, make charts, tables, presentations, etc.

• Publish them on accessible resource, regulate the access rights to information, and discuss these materials.

Set of tools:

• To compile documents, charts, spreadsheets and presentations, one can use a standard office suite, for example, MS Office containing ready-made document templates. There are extensions for Visio to draw all the necessary flowcharts.

• Joint works requires using a corporate portal, a document management system, a corporate mail system, a corporate messaging system, or a dedicated file share in an organization’s corporate network. The choice of solution will depend on what your company already have got.

Professional project management tools are:

•Microsoft Project 2016 Server / Professional

•JIRA Project Management

For developed organizations or project IT companies, it is preferable to use additional professional systems if they are not part of Project Management systems, such as:

• Work Authorization System;

• Change Control System;

• Configuration Management System.
