Drawing GANTT Charts and Project Management on
Linux, (Microsofgt Project substitute for Unix)
I'm studying Project Management, right now. In that spirit of
thoughts I and a couple of other guys are building a
Project
Plan.
As it Project Plan it's necessary to put a
GANTT Chart in it
to show visually the project timeline (the phases), the duration
and the inter-relation between the different tasks which leads the
project to an actual completion.
After a bit of thorough research online on available software to
deal with project management and particularly, ones that are
capable to build a GANTT charts on Linux / BSD.
I've come with the following list of software capable to be a
substitute for the
Microsoft Project software.
Redmine GANTT Chart
1.
Gantt Project
GANTTProject Chart
2.
Gnome Planner
Planner GANTT Chone
Chart
3.
Task Juggler Project
Manager with GANTT Capability for (KDE)
Task
Juggler
4.
JxProject - This
software is not free, though it can be considered almost free
Take a look also at:
5.
Trac , though it doesn't
really support GANTT charts it's a lovely software to be used for
PM.
Another option you have is to try out:
6.
PHProjekt
That piece of softwre really looks promising, especially if we
consider that it's web based and how much essential is today to
have an anline tools for doing the ordinary desktop jobs.
You can even check an
online demo of the
PHPProjekt software here
If you're a type of KDE user you definitely
has to try out Kplato
As I've tested the software the software is easy to be used,
however it still is missing some essential parts that Microsoft
Project includes so it's not 100% substitute.
Also it's not able to open Microsoft Project
(MPP) files,
neither able to save the charts in the .mpp format.
Moving ahead I've came across
DotProject
DottProject Gantt Chart
I haven't took the time to test it myself but however, as I go
through the software website the project looked quite good.
Lastly you can take a look at: 7.
PStricks as a mean of
project management, however I think it doesn't support GANTT chart
building.
