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 | OpenProj | a free Open Source Project clone |
| Torch | a web-based project management app with some nice twists | |
| OmniPlan | Still a tad too expensive. | |
| 2010 | Projector | Somewhat ugly, but has an iPad version |
| Merlin | a pretty competent-looking app, said to be better than OmniPlan (but a tad more expensive) | |
| 2026 | Teambox | A bit too Web 2.0 for my liking. Can be set up in an intranet. |
| BaseCamp | Web-based project management (apparently) done right | |
| 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. | |
| 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 |
