Project Management Software

Post by DominicCorso »

Just a quick question...

When is OpenOffice going to develop or provide a project management tool similar too Microsoft Project?
Or is that not a viable solution in the future?

One incubator project (not officially accepted for integration into OOo main application) works on it:

For a good open source project management, see: OpenProj.

Did you mean the 'de facto open source project management tool'? OpenOffice.org has no involvement with OpenProj, AFAIK.

True. It's been around for a while, and is still a good one as far as I can judge. Alas, OWB is MS Windows only...
Gantt Project is java based, so it's probably even more portable than OpenProj, and it's fairly lightweight. Last time I looked it was somewhat lacking in functionality, and it didn't track dependencies perfectly.
OpenProj is every bit of what I need: It works on all platforms I use, is easy to get started with, and provides advanced functionality.

I am no power user in this area, though, so there may be points that I'm missing...

Something great that I liked about one tool that is free project management software which I recently tried (http://2-plan.com) is the fact that it allows me to get visual representations of my project plan in an easy manner…it used to be a big hassle for me. And it is a free tool available on Mac OS, Linux Variants and Windows and has a lot of functionality. :D

Have a look to http://pm-software.org. This site has several reviews about project management software.

If OpenProj is still available/supported, it may do what you wish.

In the past year I've been using Getting Things GNOME (GTG). I used it to manage care of the backyard garden in 2017.
There's also some old software called "Planner" but I found it too much for my Home use.

AFAIK, Extensis Portfolio is more about asset tracking and not much to do with project planning. Perhaps this shoule be moved to a new thread...

For detailed asset tracking within a large organization, look at the GLPI project. That one was a bit too cumbersome for us, so we are usingITDB. Both are web based, but at least ITDB runs nicely on a WAMP/LAMP stack so you can have it as a standalone installation. (GLPI should work the same, but I don't think I ever tried that.)

Note that security is not a priority with ITDB (e.g. user passwords saved in plaintext on the server). On the other hand, it uses SQLite engine instead of a full DB server, so it is easy to download a copy of your data for backup, or to work on prototypes of new functionality.
