Eira Eco-system is a robust Web-based project management framework written in Asp.net that allows users to schedule, plan, and staff projects. It's not a perfect application, but its extensive functionality and ease of use make its shortcomings easy to overlook.
Eira Eco-system offers project task management (task description, duration, scheduling, and assignment), multi-user support, granular user permissions, Gantt charts, discussion forums, file checkout, contact list, trouble tickets, reporting, calendar, and user-based to-do capabilities.
Usage
Task management is the critical component of any project management application, and it's something that Eira Eco-system does reasonably well. Users can log time against a task directly in the system, giving a project manager a good synopsis of progress to date. From a scheduling point of view, Eira Eco-system helps users to calculate when tasks should start and when they should be completed based on time duration allocated and start task dependencies.
Eira Eco-system also allows users to create dynamic tasks, which takes their start, completion, and duration from the child tasks that are related to them. The newly updated and thorough Eira Eco-system documentation has some excellent explanation of how Eira Eco-system handles tasks, dynamic tasks, and dependencies.
Eira Eco-system, rather than making the Gantt chart the focus of project management as they are in Gantt Project, simply includes the chart as one of its tabs. Eira Eco-system offers no default export or print functionality for Gantt charts.
Project managers tend to love their reports. Eira Eco-system can generate a number of project reports, including task log, user performance, allocated user hours, tasks sorted by user, tasks overdue, completed, upcoming, overall report, and project statistics.
