Talk:Getting Things Done

GTD-style project management systems (PMS)

I've been researching platforms that are built on, or competing with Drupal for the local currency project in Sarasota. I don't know whether Drupal/Storm is ready for that, or whether another mature 'out-of-the-box' project exists.

D-cubed

I've been playing with D-cubed, based on tiddlywiki, because it implements the GTD philosophy/strategy for 'getting things done' in a project. I haven't mastered the GTD methodology, but I am very impressed with it as an application. It's got everything a project team would need behind a firewall - because the AJAX-based technology needs write access to create files. I've been looking for a PM system that can be hosted and used by collaborators outside a firewall, because D³ is inadequate, having no security whatsoever. But I thought the well-developed AJAX implementation might be a worthy candidate for a platform based on Pharo/Seaside. Just thinking out loud.

Chandler

So I recently came across the Chandler project. It seems to be one of the best-ever implementations of GTD-flavored PM's out there, and worthy of study for a PM platform. My concern is that it's difficult to determine whether the chandler project is actually dead, or in suspended animation. There has been no development activity for about 3 years. Also, the build of the client is not really straightforward to install in Ubuntu, and I have no idea how easily the Windows or Mac versions install or work. For syncing with collaborators, the technology depends on Chandler Hub, which seems to be still alive.

Assessing PM solutions

We have been discussing a new framework to use as a successor to Wiki Organisation, ideally with full groupware (contacts, scheduling, tasks and projects) support.

We have been investigating Drupal because it is very modular and has an active developer community, and because we like the idea of having a CMS as the basis for a PM system, allowing us to maintain our blend of casual, unstructured data and structured data.

I haven't seen anything that incorporates GTD concepts very well in the sense of seamlessly integrating self- and group organisation through a well-thought out user portal.

I will have a look at the solutions listed here and add my thoughts - they seem very comprehansive.--Milan 22:59, 24 July 2011 (PDT)
