Todoist <> Open Project, Manufacturing Management

Added by Marc Graf about 2 years ago

Hi

I am new to open project and I hope I can use this tool to get some tasks done.

Obviously I am looking for a powerful and modern project management tool. But what I also want is a intelligent to do list software like Todoist. A place where I can dump my ideas and thoughts but also plan my day or week.

Questions:

  • Is it possible to maintain a todo list with todos that don't have a corresponding project.
  • If not is there a way to connect the tasks in OpenProject (self hosted) with Todoist?
  • Is it possible to manage manufacturing? I would like to have a board for manufacturing with the columns "Waiting/Pending", "In Work" and "Finished". I want this board to be linked to the projects where I have things to produce. So that I can keep track of the manufacturing process within the project.
  • Is there a way to creat daily and weekly agendas based on the open tasks?

However, since I am planning to proceed with the Community Edition I guess I won't be able to use Kanban Features but I can still use boards don't I?

Edit: What I am also looking forward to is a way to organize projects within a board with the columns "Waiting", "Planned", "In Progress" and "Done.

Hi Marc,

You could add checkboxes to the description of a work package to maintain a to do list. 
The Kanban board is a premium feature. The status action board (premium feature) could be a way to manage manufacturing as you described. 
There is a feature request regarding the creation of recurring tasks for weekly/monthly/yearly tasks which I have upvoted for you. 

Kind regards
Samantha

Thanks

it's a bummer that the community edition does not provide Agile boards. Do I have boards in general in the community edition or are all boards sort of Kanban boards?

What would be nice: I could have a overall project that hosts all the customer projects as sub-projects and a sub-project "production".

I can now duplicate a task (e.g. #36) in "Produktion" and link those two, so that I don't loose track of the process within the original project. 

As for the todo list I could use the work package description, yes. The checkboxes are already called "todo list". However, it'd be even cooler to use a workpackage "ToDo" as a place to gather all ideas and stuff. Within a basic board I could shuffle those tasks around. In a quick test I was also able to create a task within the board and allocate it to the according work package within a sub-project.

Cool stuff this is - quite powerful yet user friendly, well done! However, I was hoping for the community edition hosted on my Synology to keep costs low ... so again: do I have no boards at all in the community edition?

In Todoist, you can probably manage your business and use it as a notebook instead of paper or CRM. But it is better to manage the production process via valorexo, as it has formulas for calculating costs and their formation, expenses and more. In essence it is a small accounting product, adapted for the average user. There is also a forum for calculations, which makes it easier to make decisions about buying equipment or writing it off. I think it is better to ask those managers who work directly with it, as I am also a newcomer here and am looking for just a solution for the replacement of old equipment with a subsequent assessment for sale.
