I need a Project management tool that works in Linux, and has Gantt charts.
- It doesn't have to be free, just not expensive.
- I don't care how it stores the information I give it, as long as I can access it.
- I must be able to print the Gantt charts.
- Must work in Linux.
With those requirements, what can you recommend?
TheObserver asked a windows specific version of this question here.
Thanks for the help everyone.
Planner, and OpenSched, in that order. There are some decent online Gantt (this is the correct spelling) chart tools online as well, usually integrated within a project management or bug-tracking web app or software package.
I use TaskJuggler - it's more powerful than other OSS software I've tried, but it's very complicated. It's the only software I found that could do what I needed, but I still consider it to be "best of a bad bunch". I too wouldn't mind paying, if I could be sure the software would do everything I needed.
The big flaw with planner seems to be around resource leveling/allocation but I admit I haven't looked deeply into it. Planner would be my second choice.
Ganttproject is written in java and works on every platform.
You could try http://live.gnome.org/Planner maybe it satisfy your needs. :)
You could also try some of the web-based project management tools. These days they fare quite well to the desktop alternatives. I can recommend dotProject. It's a nice, easy to use tool and it has printable gantt charts.
