I’ve got a little video of some work I did over the weekend on building project management functionality into Salesforce.com. This all started as a dotproject integration–connecting our project management system with our CRM. But it turns out that we really don’t need dotproject. The ways were managing projects is pretty straightforward–we’re not gant chart folks.

So the big hurdle was the interface for entering time entries. I know enough about Salesforce.com to understand that you can easily build a schema, but the interface that’s generated for you can be pretty clunky. If you’re trying to do batch entry of data, you’re out of luck.

I built a proof of concept for a timesheet data entry form using AJAX. I’m really happy with where it is after just about 10 hours of work (with lots of learning). Drop me a line if you’re interested in this kind of thing.
