I using ProjectPier for my team collaboration, almost one year, and i will show you it’s good and bad sides.
The Project Pier is ActiveCollab successor. ActiveCollab was free for download, but when they decided to go commercial, Project Pier team take ActiveCollab’s code and now they work on its development. In core this is still old ActiveCollab, but it is quite good.
The Project Pier features:
- ProjectPier is solution you install on your own host, and you have absolutely control.
- ProjectPier is created to provide easy to use solution
- It organize dev projects into projects, milestones, Tasklist, Task and Files
- Search project by tags
- E-mail notifications for new Milestones, Messages, Tasklists, Tasks and Files.
- Unlimited number of projects, tasklist and Project members
- You can add your sponsors, stockholders into project so tehy can track project development too
- It is free and open sourced solution
If your development team have more then one person, you will need some collaboration tool to improve team coherence. I love this kind of tools, they help me to improve progress, work and cooperation in team. There is a lot of great products, but this time i want to focus only at the bugs tracking. The
