Instructions for Developers to Use the Project Management Tool

1. Login & Access Project

Use your company credentials to log in.

Navigate to the Projects section and select your assigned project.

2. Understand the Project Dashboard

Overview Tab → Project details, description, and announcements.

Activity Tab → Recent updates from team members.

Issues Tab → Core area for tasks, bugs, and features.

3. Check Your Assigned Issues

Go to My Page → you’ll see issues assigned to you.

Open each issue to check priority, due date, description, attachments, and watchers.

4. Update Issue Status

Change status as you progress:

New → In Progress → Resolved → Closed.

Always add a comment when updating (e.g., “Code pushed to branch feature/login-fix”).

5. Log Time

Use the Log Time option within an issue.

Enter:

Hours spent (use decimals → 0.5 = 30 minutes, 0.8 = ~50 minutes, 1 = 1 hour).

Brief description of the work.

Note: You cannot log more than 8 hours per day.

Helps track effort for reporting and billing.

6. Add Notes & Attachments

Use the Notes section to add technical details, blockers, or next steps.

Attach files (logs, screenshots, test results) for better clarity.

7. Create Issues When Needed

If you find a bug or new requirement:

Go to New Issue → fill in subject, description, tracker type (Bug, Feature, Task), priority, and assign if needed.

Add watchers (teammates who should be notified).

8. Follow Workflows & Sprints

If your team uses trackers/workflows → follow the defined path for issue resolution.

Check the Gantt chart or calendar for sprint/milestone deadlines.

9. Close Issues Properly

Make sure code is committed and linked (if integrated with Git/SVN).

Ensure testing is done before marking as Closed.

10. Stay Synced

Review Activity daily for project updates.

Attend sprint/weekly review and ensure your Redmine board is updated before meetings.
