Fabrizio,<br><br>Why not a third option? Create a Queue for each SW project, then when the project is over, just rename the Queue to indicate it now serves as an "Application Support" Queue to handle <i>future bugs, enhancements and Customization requests</i>? The Queue stays alive and ALL history for all kinds of work done for that software is in one place. That would be especially helpful if a request for a customization comes along and the engineer wants to know why certain tasks were designed/coded a particular way, the email/comments history would be helpful.<br>
<br>Just a thought.<br><br>Kenn<br>LBNL<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 2:51 AM, Fabrizio Sebastiani <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sebastiani@nergal.it">sebastiani@nergal.it</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
in the RT book i have read that the RT logic and philosophy discourages creation of queues<br>
that have short lifetime due "users, groups, and queues" are thought to be stable during time.<br>
<br>
I need to manage bug tracking for different software projects, more or less in the same way. Each software project has a defined lifetime (some month, in average, and then is "closed") and each of them has a different development team, verification team, QA team etc...<br>
<br>
I see two possibilities:<br>
1) define one queue "sw-bugs" and manage different project apportionment using a Custom Fields named "Project" with values "Project1","Project2","Project3"... ; but how to manager membership in this way? Is it a problem if such values changes oftern during time?<br>
2) use one different queue for each sw project: this seems to be much reasonable , but all configuration examples that I see about RT seems to not to be a best practice in general: does it have some side effect to have a constantly growing set of queues in the RT instance?<br>
<br>
what does it seems to be a best practice of the two above ?<br>
<br>
Thank you for you help!<br><font color="#888888">
