    Software Project Scheduling Using the Hyper-Cube Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm
    (Univ Osijek, Tech Fac, 2015) Crawford, Broderick; Soto, Ricardo; Johnson, Franklin; Misra, Sanjay; Paredes, Fernando; Olguin, Eduardo
    This paper introduces a proposal of design of Ant Colony Optimization algorithm paradigm using Hyper-Cube framework to solve the Software Project Scheduling Problem. This NP-hard problem consists in assigning tasks to employees in order to minimize the project duration and its overall cost. This assignment must satisfy the problem constraints and precedence between tasks. The approach presented here employs the Hyper-Cube framework in order to establish an explicitly multidimensional space to control the ant behaviour. This allows us to autonomously handle the exploration of the search space with the aim of reaching encouraging solutions.

    Agile Project Management Tools: a Brief Comprative View
    (inst information & Communication Technologies-bulgarian Acad Sciences, 2019) Ozkan, Deniz; Mishra, Alok
    Agile methodologies are becoming popular in software development. Managers are required to understand project's progress and product quality without development documents. During Agile practices of the teams and organizations, Agile project management tools are frequently used. The use of such tools leads to achieving speed and efficiency, affects the quality of the software. The quality of final product is mostly related with to project management. Accordingly, the paper provides brief comparative perspective about the popular project management tools for agile projects. 16 popular Agile project management tools have been presented helping agile developers to plan and manage their tasks in an efficient manner. Taiga, Axosoft, Agielan, Planbox are more appropriate for start-up projects. The most twitted and most appreciated tools are reported as Jira, Trello, and VersionOne. SpiraTeam by Inflectra and Pivotal Tracker are other pricing and popular agile tools, providing flexibility to Agile developers and increase collaboration among team members.
