In the meantime:<BR/><BR/>I used a tool called Work-Timer for Mac OS 10.4. It cost $15 and the authors were simply awful to deal with. I wrote a tool that could convert the data into a useful summary. The next iteration of my study I will be using a Java-based tool I am currently developing.<BR/><BR/>The only other broadly scoped study of this nature I know of is the Personal Software Process (PSP) from CarnegieMellon. To my knowledge PSP exists primarily in academia. <BR/><BR/>Jense - I collected notes for many time entries. I need to generalize them in a format appropriate for public viewing. My best ballpark guesses at this time are:<BR/><BR/>50% New development (Classic ASP)<BR/>20% Security enhancements (Java)<BR/>20% Bug fixes / enhancements not related to security or cryptography (Java / ASP)<BR/>10% Tool writing (Java)<BR/><BR/>Regarding tools, I will elaborate much more in a follow up post. However the short list includes:<BR/><BR/>* NetBeans<BR/>* Visual Source Safe<BR/>* Vim<BR/>* Smartsheet<BR/>* BadBoy<BR/>* JUnit<BR/>* Whiteboard & sticky notes<BR/>* Ant<BR/>* Windows scheduled tasks (for nightly builds)<BR/>* MagicDraw UMLmyuchahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04539008530875206053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6743937774106241957.post-85279171694385397832007-10-03T16:15:00.000-04:002007-10-03T16:15:00.000-04:00Just as interesting... what types of projects were...Just as interesting... what types of projects were you working on, and what development tools were you using?jeckelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03130053658320073829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6743937774106241957.post-67873155648753324302007-10-03T09:59:00.000-04:002007-10-03T09:59:00.000-04:00Excellent and very interesting post.

I prefer lightweight web enabled tools like google gadgets, feel much comfortable than using heavy project management tools.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
