On project management, bug/issue tracking and source control

by Sumit Chachra on March 4, 2010

There seems to be a big disconnect between project management, bug/issue tracking and source control solutions out there. Simply put in most companies these systems don’t talk to each other as much as they should.

How have I solved the problem. I’m using bitbucket.org for source control that talks nicely with LighthouseApp which I use mainly for bug-tracking (Milestones feature is nice… but only for bigger teams).

We don’t really use anything for project management per se, although we do use Highrise as our CRM system and it has a cool, “Cases” feature. So lets say we’re doing a site redesign I  create a new case and upload all relevant assets  / discussions to that case. Highrise comes with awesome email integration, so each case gets a unique email address and I can fwd emails to it, and they get attached to the case automagically. I think BaseCamp is for dedicated project management, but for now I can live with leveraging Highrise features.
