  • create subtasks for each milestone (usually == invoice)
  • add assignee(s) and hourly estimate to subtask

Project Pipeline

  • For each new opportiunity, create a new entry
  • Track state of opportunity

  • After invoicing, once money is in the bank, archive

GITLAB

https://code.hampel-soft.com

GitLab is our main tool for tracking the software development aspects of a project. This includes Git for the source code control and Issues for anything related (tasks, milestones, bugs, features, discussions, …). By using the Gitlab Issues we maintain a single source of truth about a running project. Everyone involved can read it, see what others are working on and (one of the most important aspects) can comment and discuss the issues.
