hello all! I'm an aspiring developer, and I would like to take a more formal approach to my process. I've been researching project management software, and it seems a lot of these are designed for large groups. Even those that are geared to small groups use a distributed model where you install the management software on a server and connect via the web or LAN to make/review changes.
as I'm all by myself, that's a huge overkill... is there a simple, integrated solution that I can install on the same machine as the one I run visual studio 2005 to keep track of my requirements, bugs, changes, releases, etc? I have a source control, I use Visual SourceSafe 2005, and it's installed alongside my visual studio on this laptop. but how can I formalize how I keep track of my initial requirements in an organized fashion, and bugs and changes and revisions, etc?
is this too much for one person to manage on their own? but how can I formalize my development process if that's true?
I would appreciate your insight on this, as this is something I've been wanting to do for a long time, but never had the time. now I have the time and I'm overwhelmed and don't know how to get started!
thank you
