Rui CarmoFor some people, the art of using Microsoft Project and Outlook while sitting around all day in an office.
For the ones who actually intend to accomplish something, it’s the art of doing more things with less resources in the most efficient way.
And all it really takes is an Excel spreadsheet and good people skills.
Resources
| Date | Link | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2009 | BaseCamp | Web-based project management (apparently) done right |
| Redmine | a Trac-like project management application implemented in Ruby on Rails that includes Gantt charts, time tracking, file sharing, a Wiki with Textile markup and Mercurial support. Although development-oriented, it stands to reason that it should be usable as a generic PM tool. | |
| SharedPlan | cross-platform applications and a PM server | |
| 2009-05-11 00:00:00 +0000 UTC | OpenProj | a free Open Source Project clone |
| 2009-09-17 00:00:00 +0000 UTC | Torch | a web-based project management app with some nice twists |
| 2009-11-10 00:00:00 +0000 UTC | OmniPlan | Still a tad too expensive. |
| 2010 | Teambox | A bit too Web 2.0 for my liking. Can be set up in an intranet. |
| GanttProject | Freshly updated to 2.x. Java based, with all the evil that implies, but usable. Has a very annoying (and ugly) logo on the Gantt view. | |
| 2010-06-14 00:00:00 +0000 UTC | Projector | Somewhat ugly, but has an iPad version |
| 2010-06-21 00:00:00 +0000 UTC | Merlin | a pretty competent-looking app, said to be better than OmniPlan (but a tad more expensive) |
