Exercise control over your software projects
Project Dune was started in 2003 by Gerard Toonstra with the following objectives as part of its mission:
- To make software projects controllable
- To reduce effort in project management, project verification and administration
- To deliver a set of documentation on best practices and standards for software project development
To realize these objectives and show our commitment to improving software quality worldwide, we do the following:
- We deliver innovative quality management software and regularly make new releases with improvements and better features. This software is opensource and licensed under the GPL
- We host Quality Forums, where everybody may join in on the discussions about software quality and the project
- We provide Software Project Management tips and understandings on this wiki (cc-by license). Create your account if you wish to contribute to this wiki. You'll be able to edit pages that are not specific to Project Dune
- Our Processes and Practices guide is a continuously improving work, just as quality plans should be.
- The documentation is mostly available under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License. That means you are free to use that work as a starting point for your own quality plan, or to use it to refine your own plans, as long as you give attribution to the authors.
Strategic Goals
- To continue to find new innovative ways to gather more and better software project information at lower cost and effort.
- To set the standard for software project management tools in the industry through better features, more flexible extensibility and better integration with other products.
- To publish, free of charge, a world-leading set of standards and best practices to assist the software development industry, which can be implemented independently of the Project Dune software.
- To cultivate the potential and support the professionalization of the software development and quality management industry.

Software Engineering Guide
The Software Engineering Guide documentation is hosted on this wiki and is an initiative to help you get your software projects under control. It breaks down software engineering as a number of activities. For each activity, it explains the goals and the risks if not executed. Consider contributing to it on the forum. You can find instructions here for editing pages on this wiki. This wiki is an installation of MediaWiki, which has instructions for editing available on the internet.
