Redmine

P2R provides publishing tasks with appointments from MSP project to Redmine and getting progress data back to MSP from Redmine.

It does not require any installation and is just a ruby console script.

A compiled .exe version is available for customers not having Ruby installed on their computers.

P2R is designed for the following use-case:

• project manager adds Redmine access settings to MS Project file
• project manager marks tasks and resources (team members) in MS Project file for publishing to Redmine and then runs P2R.
• P2R creates new project in Redmine and adds team memberships for MSP project resources marked as Redmine users. (Connecting to existing project is also possible.)
• P2R publishes new tasks with appointments to Redmine including start, finish and workhours estimate. Group tasks will also be published. (Connecting to existing tasks is also possible.)
• project team members put actual start, finish, estimate and hours spent to their tasks in Redmine
• project manager runs P2R periodically to get actual data back to MSP
• P2R sets start, finish, estimate and spent hours in MSP according to Redmine data
• project manager compares data with baselines and corrects remaining part of the projects as necessary

You could find more details in README.md file or at project home page.

Eou can get compiled EXE version in downloads folder of code repository. (File is to big to put it on this page, no more than 600K allowed.)
