Users & their Tasks
a) Customers : who wish to track the progress of the project
b) Top management: who also want to track the progress
c) Project managers: plan the project and assign/approve the tasks
d) Developers: Execute the assigned tasks. Fill the time for task

Usability observation & suggestions :

1. Email Reminders are not sent when a bug is closed.
2. Status field remains blank if no "Type" is selected. The dependency is not understood by user. They should be grouped and hierarchy of selection visible.
3. The concept of Keywords are not understood. How does they get populated.
4. Users are using "Description" to create a thread. They are not using "Discussion Thread".
5. Different users can file their comments in different tabs as suggested above.
6. Discussion thread can be used to just view who had reported, when reported, then who worked, when, ….the pass on thread. Current discussion thread does not show who has initiated the issue
Usability observation & suggestions :

1. The last column is important from a project manager's point of view. But its at the end and he needs to scroll. Again the context is lost…which check box is for what heading.
2. This column should appear on left-first side.
3. There can be option to hide or unhide these columns…provide a check box on top as shown to decide which columns user should want to view.
4. System should remember which columns user has check, the next time he logs in.
5. In this way horizontal scrolling can be avoided. "Progressive disclosure Rule"
