If a project requires a lot of planning, writing everything down in a notebook isn't enough to avoid confusions and oversights. Project management applications are ideal for situations like this and if you are looking for an efficient one, you should take a look at OpenProj. It is the original project management application created by Projity, who later developed ProjectLibre. The application includes countless features, to satisfy all your needs in terms of project management.
Inexperienced users may need some time to experiment with the application's controls and to learn the general layout of the user interface, but if you know exactly what task and resources you need to organize and how, you can master the application in no time. The user interface is divided into various sections, in which you can schedule individual tasks, define resources, generate reports and much more.
Creating a new task can be as simple as typing its name in a table of contents, in the appropriate section, but you can add many more details on a separate window. The application allows you to specify a task's duration, prioritize it, set up constraints, like "as soon as possible" or "finish no later than", assign resources and much more. Created tasks are displayed together with some of these details in the aforementioned table of contents. What's more, the application also displays your tasks in a Gantt diagram, in the same section of the interface.
Besides creating and scheduling tasks, you can also link a series of graphical representations of your tasks, to create a network. Based on the information you insert, OpenProj will automatically generate reports, draw charts and histograms and so on. It can also display breakdown structures for work and resources, which you can modify if you need to.
Pros
OpenProj comes with numerous features for managing projects. It allows you to schedule individual tasks, assign resources and more. Reports, charts and other materials are generated automatically, according to the information you provide.
Cons
You may experience a few bugs in version 1.4, particularly when performing advanced operations. Managing projects efficiently and retrieving detailed reports without any effort are just a few advantages that OpenProj has to offer.
