Myriax is an award winning local software producer with a large international
market and in a phase of growth hoping to establish positive relationships with
emerging talent in the Hobart IT sector.
Eonfusion is a product with multimillion dollar multi-year investment and a
team of a dozen people employed, aiming to penetrate the scientific market with
multi-dimensional spatial and temporal data integration and analysis tool that
we perceive to be in high demand.
Microsoft’s Visual Studio Team System is used for development, but in
its first version to date it lacks a great many very useful project management
tools. The Team System environment employs Work Items to manage work on the
project. Work Items can be assigned to developers and follow a predefined workflow
and contain any fields useful for describing the work needed.
Specifically sought are:
1) An integrated timer, such that a developer working on a Work Item can start
a timer and stop it to record time spent working on a given Work Item. This
will involve writing (in C#) a Visual Studio Add-in.
2) Enhanced integration with MS-Project. Currently implemented integration is
weak. There is a need to transfer user defined metrics between the Team Systems
database and an MS-Project file and to be able to present lucid summaries of
work in Gantt chart format in Project. This will involve writing an MS-Project
Add-in (in C#) to interface with the Team System.
C# is the envisaged language and Visual Studio the envisaged environment.
