I'm a die-hard fan of project management and to-do list applications. Rainlendar and Basecamp are my faves. What PM tool are you using?

Michael Chui · 11-06-2006, 09:46 AM

Also a Basecamp user. It is awesome.

Basecamp helps when several people communicate on a project, but has a completely different paradigm from the standard 'project management' app. And it is very unsuitable for a single person planning a project.

Btw, I am finishing a lightweight project management app, very useful for a single person or a small team. Here is a screen shot:

That looks like a very creative project boris, keep us updated!

basecamp? I've never heard of this I'll have to check this out

FusionDesk5 sure looks very promising. Announce its beta release soon, please! And I hope it's for free.

There is a free Basecamp clone called ActiveCollab. You can see it in actiton here.

For todo-list stuff I have gone through different phases. I started with MLO (my life organized). Then I found toDoList which is way better in every aspect (see my
review here: academic productivity » Download: toDoList (Windows))

Then I realized that I have plenty of hard deadline tasks, and that I really needed a calendar integrated. For that, the best tool I found is agenda at once:

academic productivity » Programs: Agenda at once

Hope this helps...

I am using my own program called Swift To-Do List. I've made it for myself in the first place, but it was popular so I kept improving it. I think that I could arrange a discount for forum visitors, feel free to PM me. It's just very easy to use and can hold a lot of tasks, inbuilt reminders, etc. See my signature if you want to check it out.

For Gantt charts, there's GanttProject on sourceforge, written in Java. It does pretty well for planning most moderately complex projects. There's Omniplan by the Omni group (The Omni Group) for $125, and, while I haven't used it, I've used other Omni group programs and they have the best-polished programs on earth (OmniGraffle and OmniOutliner are best-in-class for polish).
