Project management software?

I am looking for a package that works well, adheres to the Mac look and feel and otherwise helps to plan a project.
Gannt charts and other graphical representations are the key. I want to represent the different work streams so everyone can 'see' the project. Critical path analysis and other project management features are important if it impacts how people can visualize the project. I am not trying to micro manage the resource costs or other details so I can sacrifice some features for ease of use.
Your thoughts and specific recommendations?

OmniPlan or Merlin.
Thanks.
Do you have a favorite?
I noticed that Merlin is integrated with NovaMind so I can create a mindmap and then use the mind map to start building the project plan.
I happen to use OmniFocus so I am familiar with the Omni Group. No experience with OmniPlan. Actually, I knew one of the founders back when they were a NeXT developer.

Best project management software for mac

Does anyone have any recommendations for the best project management software or strategic planning software for imac??
Thanks

If you are willing to spend money on professional tool with free support, if the team get's large, I would ask you to look at ConceptDraw Project. If you are dead set on open source and "free" software I would say that Redmine, Bugzilla or any other that has been around a while, and looking for plugins to make it suit your needs is one of your best bets.

Free Project Management Software for Mac or windows!

Hi all,
Does anyone know of a good project management software that does more than what Microsoft project does and is freely available? I mean one that has a local application but also can update updates to the web side of the software? I saw sharedPlan which is really good so far but its not freely available. It runs on Mac and Windows but really looking for a windows version as all my team members only use windows.
So I guess am asking for one that's open source?
Please let me know.

You might want to check out Wikipedia page and look for open source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_project_managementsoftware
The only free tools that I know of are web based such as Zoho projects, Basecamp etc..
Or you can always download and use for 30 days tools from:
http://www.geniusinside.com
http://openproj.org/
http://www.ganttproject.biz/
or other

Project Management Software Options

Does anyone know of good project management software? I recently joined an advertising firm and am responsible for scheduling projects and keeping track of client info. What I need is a program or programs that will allow me to track projects, schedule due dates, etc. and enter client info and keep track of client daily interactions (phone calls, faxes, meetings).
If you're using something you like please let me know. Any suggestions are appreciated.

No, I coudn't find an appropriate forum. I wanted to post it on a general software discussion but couldn't find one. Sorry, I'll try elsewhere.

InDesign Project Management Software

We are working with inDesign CS4 on a 80 page field services industry publication. We are struggling keeping articles and advertisements managed before, during and after editing and layout. Does anyone now of a project management software for magazine publications?

Hi Mitch,
I've spent the last few years researching software project management solutions in another specialized field, and I think that you're missing the boat when you're thinking about software. If you don't know how to manage the information you already have with just whiteboards & manilla folders and the like, you're going to be at a severe disadvantage when trying to shop around for a prefab database that will manage your workflows on your behalf.
Check out this discussion of PM tactics; there's some good food for thought.
http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=000076
Of course, if your information is already in disarray, and your workflows are already being pushed along manually, then of course the idea of managing it with software is appealing. However, you'll best be able to ask those questions ("How are y'all doing it? Because we're doing it with hand-drawn Gantt charts on whiteboards") if you already have a system. If you don't already have a system that you want to replace, then you're best off hiring someone who is not only a DB dev but who is also familiar with the ins and outs of project management. That person can spend a few days/weeks learning what you have instead of a workflow, and can then build a software-based workflow around your organization's activities.
With about 35 ads and 45 articles we are having a hard time keeping up with what has been received from contributors and writers, whats in layout, 2nd edits, 3rd edits etc.... and feel we need something to help us stay organized outside what inDesign does.
As a database-workflow-managin' pro, it's my feeling that you don't need something, you need someone. And that someone is the person to ask, "How do I shop for a software-based workflow management app?"

Which project management software is best, which project management software is best

Which project management software is best for my macbook pro?

In order to give you a solid recommendation, we'd need to know what needs you have.
What type of project are you planning on managing?
What size of team?
Timeline?
Extent?
What are some things you need to manage (emails, phone calls, stages, tasks, phases, etc)?
Without any of this, it's hard to give you a recommendation, as EVERYTHING will work on your MacBook Pro, especially if you have Windows dualbooted.
However, I can tell you that the best project management software I've used to date (and continue using) is JobNimbus. It's both CRM and project management software, very easy to use, and the pricing is way lower than others I've seen.
Give that a try (they have a 30-day trial) and try to reply back with more info so we can help you out a little bit better.
Cheers

Project management software advice

Hello - I work for a small company - half Mac users and half PC - and we need to get project management software which is compatible with MS Project - any advice please? Cheers Simon

Try
Merlin
<http://projectwizards.net/en/merlin/>
You can also try
Open Project
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/openproj/>
but I don't know if it's still in active development. OmniPlan can import MS Project files, but I don't know if that's practical for your needs.
In a Mac/Win environment, the only practical solution may be to run MS Project in a virtual machine like Parallels or Fusion, or perhaps virtualised with CrossOver.

Integration with Third Party Project Management Software

My company is looking for software that can be "bolted on" to Oracle Projects to provide more robust project managment functionality. We already know of two (Microsoft Project and Primavera), but we'd like to hear from other companies who may have implemented other solutions.

James:
I've been involved on 2 projects that included integration into Projects. On both occasions Oracle's Activity Management Gateway (AMG) was used. AMG is the open interface for Projects. We used it on one occasion with Primavera Expedition to load budgets and the WBS and on another with MS Excel to upload budget information. ODBC and AMG was used on the MS Excel project.

Is there a free (as in free beer) project management type software for Mac?

Hi guys,
I am looking for free project management software for my iMac. It should be similar to "Planner" on Gnome/Linux. So far, I only found some trial versions of like softwares, but naturally I don't want something that costs extra.
So, what's available along those lines?
