Redmine is a web-based/open source tool for software project management and bug tracking. Since Redmine is a web-based tool, it is effective in scenes where a large number of people share topics as a list or make various discussions on one topic represented by one ticket through the network. On the other hand, Enterprise Architect is effective in showing a base or results of discussions in structured images. EA Connector for Redmine enables us to make the best use of the characteristics of both tools by connecting Redmine tickets to Enterprise Architect elements and converting their attributes bidirectionally. The following Information Utilization can be expected:

• Use information of Redmine tickets in Enterprise Architect
• Export Enterprise Architect elements to Redmine tickets for discussions and information sharing

• Discuss Enterprise Architect elements in Redmine
• Transfer information of development items created in Enterprise Architect (ticket driven development)
