This isn't really the same type of application I'm looking for - this is more like a to-do app... I'm looking for a tool that will generate project related info (the standard PERT, critical path, Gantt, etc.) based on some data. Thanks for the idea of a wiki though - I may be able to use that for something else! Steve On 6/20/07, Andre Lehovich wrote:

Have you considered a wiki? It won't autoproduce the fancy PERT and Gantt charts (though you can ASCII art them!), but otherwise works well for planning. I use Tomboy [1] for solo projects.

Have you tried "Planner"? I haven't not used it, yet. But I think it may worth having a look at. http://live.gnome.org/Planner baris

Hello Walt, I tried Mr. Project several years ago when the project was in its infancy. It worked pretty well - minus the crashes ;). I decided to wait for it to stabilize, but forgot about it. Now I can only find package links - all the "home page" links on various sites are dead. Is Mr. Project still alive? -Adam On 6/20/07, Walt Sawyer wrote:

Morning all!

Before I download a few bazillian freeware apps to look at, I was wondering if anyone has experience with and a recommendation for a freeware alternative to MS Project?

I would like both Gantt and PERT with critical path and milestones... This is primarily for keeping track of the flow and status of a bunch of projects (where are we, what comes next, what is holding up the works, etc.), and for tasks within a project. Drill down from a multiple project view (PERT) to a single project, to tasks with a project (Gantt) would be very cool, especially given senior management is visually oriented. ;-)

Alternatives to "project management" apps based on the above are welcome (I'm not sure where the process automation/workflow tools business is these days, but if you have something you like, let me know...). Being able to generate web-based content would be brilliant! Then I could say "go to this URL and click away!"

Thanks in advance!

Steve
