    2323Some of this information is part of the Trac core, some is provided by existing plugins, and some must be added to support project management.  None of this information is antithetical to Trac's design and implementation.

     27A project management system must track properties of (information about) tasks, resources, and milestones.

     29=== Task Properties ===

    2731Answering the questions listed above requires recording certain properties of a task.

    4145Task dependencies can be quite complex.  Project management generally involves four types of dependencies between tasks or activities:

    6367We don't seek to make Trac a completely general project management solution and will -- at least for now -- limit resources to people and assume they are available full time.

    65 == Milestone Properties ==
     69=== Milestone Properties ===
    6670
    6771The essential property of a milestone is its date.  Trac tickets which are part of a milestone are implicitly due by the milestone date.  In general project management, milestones have FS dependency with some some tasks.  Together with dependencies between tasks, this dictates when tasks must be done to keep a project on schedule.
