OPENPROJ – open sourse replacement for Microsoft Project
Posted by Adrian on Aug 4, 2007 in Open Source | 1 commentPicking up on the blogs of others (linux world and open source advocate), I am really pleased to hear of a new open source substitute for MS Project, a project management piece of software.
OPENPROJ is currently in beta, and runs cross patform using Java. Now I’m not normally a fan of the common java software interface, but I’m looking forward to using this for my business R&D planning.
After previous discussions with Senokian about such software some weeks ago, I resorted to planning a current project using a gantt chart using open office calc. its OK, but coudl be better.
I hope that OPENPROJ works well for me, I’ll give it a go, but I’ve never used Project management software before.
Hi Adrian,
There are a couple of alternative project management apps that I would recommend you look at in the OSS domain:
dotproject (web based, php application – great for multiple users/team working etc…)
Planner (Gnome based desktop PMS – similar to MS Project)
