Cosylab is of academic origin, therefore the spirit, organization and work procedures are very much like in research institutes. In addition, we work on about two dozen projects simultaneously for customers on four continents, which requires a lot of travel and on-site work. Commercially available project management tools are not suited to manage such diversity. We have therefore adopted a set of open source tools, implemented some custom additions and integrated the tools into a coherent product to suit our purpose. Even more important than the tools are the underlining project management processes that have evolved within Cosylab over the last ten years. The processes are based on project management theory and best practices from research institutes, industry and our own experience. In this article, both the tools and the processes will be presented with relevant examples.

Every beamline is different, which makes it impossible to buy a control system of the shelf. Nevertheless well tested and customizable building blocks can be prepared, which are then put together according to customer requirements. Delivering a fully operational control system is not just software development, but also gathering specifications, writing documentation, testing the hardware and trimming the software on site. Based on the delivery of a number of working beamlines, this paper will prove that we have optimized all stages and can guarantee that the purchased control system will be delivered on time, will work according to specifications and will be properly documented. The customers can also count on support.
