The leantime software seems to have a number of complimentary functionality that seems useful for project management. Are there people here using leantime who could make a feature comparison with project management in Discourse?
Here is a short overview of leantime features, from the above link:
| Leantime | Discourse | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Todos | Kanban Board, Discourse Assign |  |
| Milestones | ? |  |
| Ideas | Topics? | |
| Docs | Discourse Docs (Documentation Management) | |
| Blueprints | ? | (maybe Discourse Templates would be useful here?) |
| Reports | ? |  (this is the @Campano’s interest) |
| Timesheets | ? | (ditto) |
| Retrospectives | Topics? | |
I think it would be interesting to see how much time was spent on a topic, especially in the context of a task. Although ‘reading time’ is an indicative figure, it lacks context. Since there is an estimation of reading time in a topic, there could be a way to estimate time spent responding to a topic – or at least some measurement that would send an alert to the user telling whether they’re spending too much time on this topic. But as I write this I also consider the implementation nightmare of such time estimation, especially as writing is a different thing than researching what to write or spending time resolving an issue, so it’s mostly abstract and detached from any single real situation. That said, a burndown chart (“Reports”) for tasks (using the Kanban board) would be useful, as well as milestone management (grouping tasks together to understand scope and follow progress).
