Eventually, bought the corporate edition of ActiveCollab, $499 usd. Aint cheap, but it solves this whole project management thing, somehow.

MS Project, still use it basically to present it during the 1st planning stage, but eventually i realise things dont get done still.

I can only commiserate. I’m in the process of managing project teams in a number of locations for numerous different streams of development and test on my project. We’re now into the final furlong and I’m desperate to ensure everyone gets at least a day off a week to recuperate. Microsoft Project is a rather blunt tool in this respect and I’m now reduced to using diaries and bits of paper.

So if you come across anything which does a better job, please can you let me know?

You know when I was learning many years ago how to write a project plan I never thought years later I’d be fiddling around with bits of paper trying to create useful project resource scheduling!

Cheers

A while back I did the same thing, and then ended up launching a site about it. Take a look: http://pm-sherpa.com
