Hello,
I reworked on my code. You can find it here :
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-gantt/
or with pip ::
pip install python-gantt
Enclosed, there is two parts :
- python-gantt : this library is used to draw gantt svg charts from python
- org2gantt : used to transform org-mode files to python-gantt ones
You can see outputs here :
- http://xael.org/norman/python/python-gantt/project.png
- http://xael.org/norman/python/python-gantt/project_resources.png
Installation
------------
To install python-gantt, just issue :
python setup.py install
It requires :
- svgwrite
- clize
Usage
-----
For using org2gantt, see help :
python org2gantt/org2gantt.py -h
Basic usage is :
python org2gantt/org2gantt.py org2gantt/example.org
It should generate two charts : one for tasks and one for resources
assignment.
Syntax for org-mode
-------------------
See org2gantt/example.org and org2gantt/README.org for detailed
explanations.
Basically, you need to define :
- resources : in a special section "RESOURCES"
- and projects containing tasks.
Timeframe of tasks is defined by <SCHEDULE> (beginning) and <DEADLINE>
(end).
Some properties are used for :
- duration of the task
- define some task's blockers
- resources used
- and some other things
Syntax is mostly compatible with org-taskjuggler when you have renamed
RESOURCES
section.
In addition, resources can also be defined as tags. I think it's better
than the
org-taskjuggler property method as you can use them directly in org-mode !
My work flow
-------------------
I work for a big company with two missions :
- sysadmin (os + apps) on a 300+ server park,
- do some integration and qualification on applications,
- deploy those applications on our servers.
I am managing 15 persons in two teams. One do daily sysadmin and the other
one
do the IQ and deployment part.
For the sysadmin part, it's quite straightaway : daily repetitive tasks,
and little
scheduling (server installation, patch, updates…)
For the IQ / deployment team, the dates of operations are not defined by me
but
others (devs for the delivery and clients for production interruption).
Scheduling is done with a long term view (6 months - 1 year)… but evolve
as dev are usually in hurry at first and in late at the end.
For this, I need to check resources allocation in order to be able to do the
work. I used ganttproject for this. But it is not really user friendly and
lack
good outputs I can share with others.
org2gantt allows me to do some nice pictures for big managers. And with
org-mode, it helps me to easily keep track of tasks (notes, documents,
milestones) and who is assigned to what.
Org-mode is also really usefull keep the someday/maybe notes.
Regards,
Alexandre
