• Ticket Typing
• Kanban view at any level with breadcrumb
• Customer access with clean project separation
• Freemind import/export
• Email notifications
• Hierarchical risk management
• Hierarchical progress management
• Complexity/evaluation management

About the design

Hierarchy of tickets

The initial design decision of Anytracker was to use a hierarchical representation of tickets, with a uniform model: a project is a ticket and each ticket can have subtickets. It allows to split a big project into subprojects, features, subfeatures, tickets, and split again a ticket when it is considered too big.

The kanban view can display only tickets at a specific level in the hierarchy, to focus on a specific sub-node of the project.

Separate submodules

Different features are split into submodules, using inheritance as if they were real separate modules. It allows to more easily test and modify the different features independently.

Few dependencies

This tools has been kept separate and independant as most as possible from standard Odoo modules. It allowed us to evolve from OpenERP 6.0 to latest versions without too much work and easy migration path. Dependency on a few standard Odoo modules has only been introduced recently for invoicing features, and might be removed again in the future.

Tests

You can run the tests from a buildout with:

$ ./bin/openerp_command run-tests -d dbname -m anytracker

Or better, if you installed nose in your buildout

$ ./bin/nosetests -d dbname -- addons-anytracker/anytracker/
