Project Management Software HELP ME PLEASE!
« on: February 07, 2006, 09:38:10 pm »
Okay, I'm looking for a Project Management software with the following requirements:

1.  Easy to use for basic users.
2.  Calendar functions for both projects and individuals (managers can look at all calendars)
3.  To-Do/Task lists for projects and individuals that can assign a project task/to-do to more than one user
4.  Can handle about 10-15 projects, and equivalent users
5.  Can be made accessible through the web
6.  Is secure in transmission/access
7.  Client accounts can access only their own project.
8.  Cost range is $1,200 per year or thereabouts.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  Microsoft Project is 'too complex', Basecamp doesn't have good calendar functions, Ace Project is on the upper end for complexity and does not have personal calendars.  I'm going crazy and the boss is getting anxious...
He who can master the data controls the world.

 Most everyone uses MS Project.  You'd probably be better off writing something in Access, or giving them an Excel spreadsheet that's been formatted.

Here are some leads:

The other thing you could do is talk to someone over at the Project Management Institute and see what they might recommend...

I've used the web-based eProject with clients. Seems to have the features you need.
I don't know what the cost is.
