Project Mgmt Software suggestion

Hello-
Apologies in advance if this is the wrong forum for this question.
I'm wondering if anyone might be able to suggest a good, reasonably priced project management software that is compatible with OS 10.4.
Some quick background details:
I am an educator who manages several academic projects and would like to have something that would allow me to enter information such as
1. Project name/title
2. Project notes (e.g., status, last items worked on and so forth)
3. Track Time spent on project (e.g., 2 hours today, 3 hours yesterday)
4. Calculate total time spent on project
Thanks.

There are several really cool online applications at 37 Signals.
The have free versions, free trials, and educational discounts.
I pay them $5 a month for the backpack product and I'm very happy with it.

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.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE - MAC OS X & MS-PROJECT

Hi Folks,
I need some advice!
I am looking for some good Project Management Software to run on my MAC OS X. Mostly, I will do be doing Gantt Charts, Critical Path, Resource Loading, Task Creation, Etc. My clients typcially run MS-PROJECT on PCs--so I will need to have some type of import/export compatibility with MS PROJECT.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks,
Johnny O

jxProject, Intellisys Project Desktop, PMX, and SharedPlan are a few.

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://openproj.org/

or other

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.

I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question).

Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question). I haven't had this issue before, I have always used the content library on the screen but haven't used this for about a month. How can I make the Content Library available?

Thanks so much! I am backing up the entire computer now with an external hard drive - this should be fine right? And surely if I am backing up the whole computer these projects/videos will be backed up too? I wasn't sure how to do this any other way and I am clearly not great with tech issues. Once this is done and I am sure my projects/videos are safe I will do the delete and reinstall bit. Thanks for taking the time to help

Hello,
I am an MBA student at Harvard Business School. I am conducting a survey about Project Scheduling software. The purpose of the survey is to establish whether existing software is meeting the needs of Project Managers. I would greatly appreciate your help.
The survey will take about 5 minutes to complete. It is applicable to anyone who manages a schedule for more than a few hours a month.

Error during validating Project Mgmt Templ. in Item

Hi Gurus,
I am working with PPM 5.0 and facing an issue while creating a Project from Project template that is assigned to an Item type. In Item detail screen, when I click on "Create Project on saving" check-box and select a particular Project Template, I am getting message "Error during validation of Project management template".
Following are the IMG activities I have done:
(1) Define Portfolio Item type:
- Link to Project system = Portfolio and Project Management
- NoAutoPro = " "
(2) Map Item type to Project Templates:
- Item type to Project template = I have mapped two Project Mgmt templates to one Item type
- Item type to Project type = mapped accordingly
(3) In Base System Interfaces -> Application Object Settings -> Define Object Link Types:
- For all 0RPM* objects, I have mentioned Logical and Destination system as newly created Logical system which is already assigned to system client.
After doing these settings also I am facing the above mentioned error.
Can anyone please guide me where I am going wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ravi,
Considering above mentioned Object link grouping, I also made the changes in DFM.
Following is the screenshot showing same. Unfortunately still no luck.
<< Object type setting >>
<< DFM settings for obj synchronization >>
