We have tried all the tools, Trello, Slack, Jira, Ryver, Google Tasks, Hangouts, Skype, you name it and we always seem to eventually run into some feature we need as we grow. So we have decided, after being with vTiger for many years, to make the move to SuiteCRM and to build our own inhouse tools.
Our goal is to build something like Ryver and we wanted to know if someone else has tried this already?
We will use Kanban for SuiteCRM but then we need a chat option like Slack/Ryver. We’re doing some homework into IRC and we might be able to build KiwiIRC into SuiteCRM but one thing that we need from IRC is not only Channels but topics within Channels.
Has anyone looked into something like this and if not, perhaps this is a project we can collaborate on?
I’ve seen some talk of integrating Mattermost (since it’s open source, and quite feature-rich). SalesAgility uses it internally. But I don’t think anyone’s done it…
Back on this. Has there every been a collaboration where devs here have come together to build a project out and then split the costs in the Store once the extension has been built out?
@pgr - not familiar with Bountysource but that looks like a good way to go. Do you want to set it up from your end to be part of core or do you want me to set it up?
This particular topic (a full chat integration) doesn’t seem me the best project for a first attempt, so I hesitate. I’d like to start with something much simpler, like a bug fix…
I think getting used to this sort of initiative will take some time and some experimentation. It involves money, it is a sort of contract between multiple parties…needs to be handled with care.
Do we involve everyone here and create use case scenarios or where would that happen @pgr
In terms of what I need, it would be the following.
Convert all projects into Kanban board.
Create a single Kanban board to pull in all other cards from other Projects to manage everything in one place.
Ability to drag cards onto a Gantt-like timeline so that we can see what needs to happen where (like the link above)
When a card is moved from ToDo, a timer needs to kick in in order for us to measure the time the team member took against the time we thought something would take.
Ability for clients to see their own boards so that we can do planning with them. (for bigger projects)
Ability to create different discussion channels related to the projects so that we can keep on topic.
We have tried everything from Trello to Jira and none of it has worked for us yet so we decided to move to Suite and build it out for ourselves.
@pgr - started a Bounty for this project here with the initial build out to pull tasks from different platforms into a single board in Suite so that we can then use a Gantt chart to plan our projects out
Projects and Gantt chart modules are already available in SuiteCRM. Do you intend to use those and are looking for Some Integration that can pull Data from Other platforms?

Hi, I could adapt my solution for the Design tasks module, I don’t know how much it will be in demand. I thought that it could be screwed to any CRM module by selecting the field with statuses. But so far he is heavily loaded at work.
