It's hard to find an affordable integrated project management, scheduler, activity and bug tracking tool that is also scalable from an individual to a large team but ProjectLight solves this problem. It allowed us to focus on the product development knowing the records for reporting and
trace ability were being generated, giving us the compliance needed to satisfy ISO 9001, ISO 13485 and the accountants by providing instant online reports and links through the entire R&D process, from bug tracking to SR&ED expenditures.
ProjectLight was the perfect tool to meet our needs for
project management and quality product development. SR&ED time tracking and
co-ordinating our work has become much easier since we started to use it. The easy
to use, online handling of requirements and test plan is much superior to our
old system.
MediaWiki is a free software wiki package written in PHP, originally

medium sized companies and R&D departments to share information and
collaborate. MediaWiki and ProjectLightTM
integrate well together for cross linking and providing an overall project
and information management solution.
