This is not a code question but it is something that developers deal with every single day.

What is your recommended project management software for rails projects? comercial or open source

Thanks,

Can you clarify your question a little? Do you mean internal (developer-team-centered) or CRM (customer relationship)? Or something that's a blend, like Basecamp?

Are you looking for issue tracking, documentation, what, specifically?

Thanks Walter,

I think we are looking for something like Basecamp(without having used it)

PM would use it to assign tasks, track development time, project timelines, documents(maybe share this with clients), while developers can use it in a day to day to know what their priorities are, track time spent etc.

Redmine is working good for internal development but we are looking for something more robust from the CRM side of things and ideally we will like to use a single system.

Just wondering what other people are doing out there to get some ideas flowing.

Thank you!

I recommend you try it out. The free version doesn't include time tracking or https, but it does have enough of everything else to give you a flavor. I have been using it since it launched, and like many on this list, seeing it in action was enough of a kick in the head for me to try out Rails 1.very low number.

Team Task Manager works well for us. It is intuitive and all the data is stored on your own PC instead of online. Inexpensive, and a free trial is available on their website - Team Task Manager - Group Task Management Software - DeskShare
