Story behind

The process of custom web development is not imaginable without special communication, planning, tracking, time management, and workflow tools. This is particularly true when it comes to the Agile concept with its flexibility, rapid iterations, and emphasis on constant interaction between the development team and the client.

As a software development company, we also needed a project management tracker for organizing and scheduling tasks. At first, we explored the existing project management solutions for Agile software engineering. However, most of them were troublesome to adapt to our peculiar and well-tuned business processes.

That's why we made our own software development tracking tool that handles all the aspects of managing projects from building an initial roadmap to guiding them to completion. We use Tracker to this day and customers can’t but admit its simplicity and convenience!

The mission

The prime mission of Tracker is to allow project owners to easily monitor, manage and participate in the development process at any time and from any device.

Tracker is based on the Agile principles we follow at Anadea. It gives complete transparency, a deep sense of involvement, and full control over the development process to business owners and project managers.

It also provides all team members with a timely view of the project progress, allows for easy online collaboration, and helps to connect teams located in different parts of the world.

Tracker is available on web and mobile

Key features of Tracker

Tracker allows us to control all our projects, create teams of developers, track the load and availability of our employees, deal with things like vacations, holidays, and time-offs, calculate salaries, and much more.

Role-based access control

Features and information available to different users (admins, clients, developers, etc.) are role-based.

Task management with time tracking

Users create cards (user stories) for features, tasks, bugs, etc.; populate them with descriptions, comments, and tags; estimate and log time on each task, set priorities, and change statuses.

Project plan creator

User stories can be dragged and dropped to schedule the development plan. The plan is visible to the entire project team and can be flexibly adapted to the client's preferences.

Monitoring

Through tags, notifications, and work logs, users can track all activities, watch the project's progress and see where the team spends time and effort.

In-depth tracking

Developers split user stories into engineering tasks and attribute an actual time for each task. This ensures complete transparency as clients can track the time spent on each component of the user story individually.

Collaboration

You can easily manage your team online, assign tasks to team members, see who is responsible for each task, and share feedback by editing stories and changing their statuses.

Information management

Content of user stories can be easily edited by clients and team members so that it remains up-to-date. You can insert HTML and code in stories, attach images, documents, and other files, and view the history of all changes.

Reporting

Tracker allows team members to create and send daily reports on the work they are doing, accomplishments and activities completed.

Billing

Invoices are generated automatically based on the actual hours worked by developers. Billing information is stored and can be viewed or downloaded as a PDF.

Email notifications

The project members are sent notifications about changes in user stories, new assignments, and other updates via email.

Personal calendar

In the calendar, employees keep a record of their actual work time, distribute the time between projects if they are involved in several ones at a time, and schedule their annual leave.

Tracker’s main sections

For convenience, all the functionality in our product development tracker is organized into several tabs. These are:

Project page

Basic info about the software project and the list of team members.

Dashboard

Recent user stories and their statuses (estimated, in process, completed, accepted).

Invoices

View of all invoices issued in the project and current account state.

Stories

Main project management board where you can create user stories, put them in the priority order, check the progress and manage the work of the team.

Statistics

Time worked by the development team each day and actual hours worked on each task by each developer.

Business stakeholders can:

Monitor the overall state of the project
Participate in the development by creating and editing stories, changing priorities, and managing the project schedule
