Hi All,
I am looking for some Project Management software in the likes of MS
Project. It doesn't need to look like the MS version, nor does it
need to work the same...just have similar functionality. Cost is
also a limiting factor.
I have just tried GanttProject and found its interface was pretty
crap, ie. only the first 8 letters of a task title is shown which
makes it difficult to see which task you are looking at when you
have a bunch of tasks allocated. It also seemed like you could only
view a single project at a time, whereas with MS Project you have
all your projects in a list that expands to show tasks and sub
tasks, etc.
I downloaded OmniPlan which looks good, but the trial only allows
you to have up to 20 tasks which is no good for me to trial properly.
Could anyone in the know please provide me with your perspective on
whatever you have tried.
Cheers,
Adam.
GanttProject: I'm not sure what view you were using, but you can
resize the left hand column to see more characters in the name, but
I'll agree it's not (yet) really what I'd choose for big projects (on
the other hand, it is free :)
