DEV (Development)
- Task Management
- Task Management controls tasks generated in software development process which makes it possible to perform tasks well. Project manager/developer register scope, priority, schedule(start date, end date), user assignment, status of task. This module is aimed to managing collaboration system project not just time management of project.
- Gantt charts are a project planning tool that can be used to represent the timing of tasks required to complete a project. Because Gantt charts are simple to understand they are used by most project managers for all but the most complex projects.
- In a Gantt chart, each task takes up on row. Dates run along the top in increments of days, weeks or months, depending on the total length of the project. The expected time for each task is represented by a horizontal bar whose left end marks the expected beginning of the task and whose right end marks the expected completion date. Tasks may run sequentially, in parallel or overlapping.
- As the project progresses the chart is updated by filling in the bars to a length proportional to the fraction of work that has been accomplished on the task.
- Often the project has important events which you would like to be shown on the project timeline, but which are not tasks. For example, you may wish to highlight when a prototype is complete or the date of a design review. You enter these on a Gantt chart as “milestone” events and mark them with a special symbol, often an upside-down triangle.

- To-do List
- On to-do list, tasks assigned to users are displayed. Each project members can find tasks which they need to handle. Task properties contain type, duration, workflow, history, comments, attachment files, and etc.
- Gantt Chart
- SILKROAD Task management is Gantt chart-based. Users can zoom in and zoom out the time frame on the chart. Scope and schedule of tasks are modified by mouse dragging on the chart. Colorings on Gantt Charts help users to clearly understand the tasks and issues of a project.
- MS-Project Import/Export
- SILKROAD can be integrated with MS-Project. SILKROAD imports data from MS-Project and manages them in SILKROAD Task Management system.
- Timeline/Resource View
- Tasks in SILKROAD can be displayed in two different views; Timeline and Resource views. Timeline view emphasizes tasks assigned within the project time frame. On resource view, users can see tasks of project members. User can check assigned tasks to each members and this prevents over-assignment of tasks. Any tasks adjusted from this view are automatically reflected in Gantt Charts.
