Overall Satisfaction with Redmine
In our company, we use Redmine for IT project management, including activities, tasks, schedules and time spent by each individual on each activity/task. We have a project manager that is responsible for creating the projects and delegating appropriate access. After that, every employee is responsible for checking delegated tasks, inputting the time spent and writing down any relevant notes. When a project is finished, all necessary information is on Redmine so managers can evaluate the development process.
