Project Scheduling Software


Recommended Posts

I suddenly find myself inundated in projects, all with different final deadlines, and all with multiple progress points. For instance, I have a project I want to complete by May 1, but in order to do that I'll need to complete part A of it by March 30th, and part B by April 14th, and send out part C by March 21st, etc. There is obviously lots of project software out there, but most seems geared toward groups, or has too many features. I am looking for simple - no need for discussion boards, bug tracking, user management, etc. Does anyone know or use something that works well?

Sounds like all you are really only looking for a gantt chart or milestone chart.

There are a bunch of options - this is a good free one if you do not have more than 3 concurrent projects at a time: https://ganttpro.com/

There are also tons of Excel gantt chart templates you can download: http://www.vertex42.com/ExcelTemplates/excel-gantt-chart.html

Alternatively, a simple task management app could also work.  Just set due dates for certain tasks and it will notify you... plenty of iOS/Android Apps: https://itunes.apple.com/US/app/id497328576?mt=8

I tried some of the software offerings and found that they did not really fit my needs. So I decided to go old school. I bought a big roll of grid paper where I can put dates across the top, projects down the side, and keep track of lots of aspects. So far it works pretty well.

I didn't want to get chastised for suggesting this but it's what I had in mind all along. I still use it for med school. Works a lot better than any schedule app I've used. Allows me to see the whole month and all my classes in one go. Tasks get marked off as the week progresses.
