A different approach to project management and issue (bug/defect) tracking Ketura, for Windows and Mac OS X (Intel and PowerPC), is a different approach to project management and issue (bug/defect) tracking. Organize your work. Track time. Manage customer requests and other work issues. Schedule and deliver your team projects on time and within budget.Ketura is easy to install and use and also is suitable for large and small teams, or even individuals who wish to manage their work more effectively. Here are some key features of "Ketura": · Accurate project schedules. Ketura doesn't just tell you how much work there is to do, it predicts when it will be done and how long it will take. Ketura takes into account staff absence and availability, ensuring that you have the best schedule estimates for your projects. · Designed for changing circumstances. Even the best prepared project teams encounter unforeseen circumstances. Ketura makes it quick and easy to reassign work, move issues between milestones or defer issues to ensure that you hit your deadlines. · Manage all your projects in one system. You don't have to juggle multiple project files. With just one Ketura system, all your current projects are live and available, all the time. · Built-in timesheets. Traditional project management software requires you to update your project progress manually. With Ketura, team members log their own time as they undertake work, using a single-click work timer, and provide their latest estimates of the amount of work left to do. Out of the office? Team members can update their work journals after the event. Either way, you always have the latest, most accurate, information available. · Prevent schedule slips before they happen. Your team has insight into the work it is undertaking. Make the most of it! Ketura calculates two schedules for every project: one based on the 'official' project plan, and one based on the latest expectations of team members. You instantly see any discrepancies between the two, making it possible to deal with possible schedule slips before they happen. · Control your budget, not just the project schedule. Successful projects come in within budget, as well as on time. Ketura knows the hourly cost of all your team members' time, so you always have a current budget projection. · Integral issue management. Never again lose track of customer requests, project requirements, goals, defect reports, help desk tickets or other issues. Assign issues to project milestones, as and when you want to schedule them for work. Add tasks to each issue, to define what work needs to be undertaken, and by whom. · Understand what's happened. Want to know who worked on an issue, milestone or project? How long it took? How much it cost? Whether team members have managed to spend the intended amount of time on a project? Want that data filtered by a particular time period? Ketura makes all this information readily available. · Spot trends. Ketura shows you long-term trends in the cost and quantity of work required to complete projects and milestones. This can be a useful reality check on over-optimistic expectations. · Automatic, personalized to-do lists. Eliminate misunderstandings. Ketura gives each team member his or her own to-do list, based on all the work scheduled for them in various projects. Every team member knows exactly what to be working on. · Simplicity at the start. Sophistication when you need it. You don't have to use all of Ketura's capabilities at the outset. Start simply, then explore its capabilities and define sophisticated workflows (perhaps to comply with your organization's procedures) at your own pace. · You're not alone. Araxis offers free support during your trial period, and for the first year after you buy Ketura. After that, you can renew support for a modest fee, giving you continued access to the latest product updates and Araxis support staff. Limitations: · 30 days trial period. What's New in This Release: Enhancements: · Ketura now installs and works on Mac OS X v10.6.2 Snow Leopard. Supporting Snow Leopard required the built-in database engine used by Ketura to be changed, which in turn necessitates a special upgrade procedure when upgrading from old versions. · The change in internal database engine (from Mckoi to Apache Derby) should not have too many user-visible side-effects, with the exception of the special upgrade procedure mentioned above. Araxis has undertaken considerable work to optimize the performance of Ketura with the new database engine, although the precise performance characteristics will inevitably be somewhat different. Please contact us if you perceive any problems. · The Ketura server no longer supports Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger. · The default amount of memory reserved for Ketura has been increased from approximately 300 MB to 600 MB. Testing has shown that this better accommodates typical Ketura workgroup sizes. · The 24 hour duration limit on work journal entries has been removed. This limit was intended to help keep customers from making unintended journal entries, but has proved overly-restrictive in some instances. · The Sun Java Runtime Environment included with Ketura on Windows has been upgraded to the latest available version. This should eliminate certain benign security warnings given by some Windows-based security tools. Bugs fixed: · Attempting to create an issue on a specified milestone using the Web Service API now works. · Negative times in excess of requirements are now never shown for user allocation calendars. · The totals for filtered milestone issue lists are now correct. · A user in a group group that has Issues > General > View/Modify permission but no Issues > State > Modify permission is now able to modify the general details of an issue without an error occurring. · The auto-filling of password fields by certain browsers (e.g. FireFox 3.5) has be suppressed for several pages where this would be inappropriate. · The Help link on the Manage Issue Type page now works. · A typographical error in the help and explanation text for the Purge Audit Trail page has been corrected. · A typographical error in the Using Ketura to Manage Software Development topic has been fixed.
