Teambox - open source project management tool
- cmelbye 17y agoI thought I'd post this because I found it to be a great project management tool for my projects, and with its free plan, it's a good choice for startups that can't afford an expensive alternative. Plus, it's open source, which is always a good thing if you want to tweak it.
- souravray 17y agoI like it! Really very useful when you working with a geographically separated team.
- trun 17y agoBeen using this for a couple projects lately. Despite a couple quirks (mostly features I'm used to in Basecamp) it's been really solid. Now if I could just get the rest of my team to start using it :)
- zaph0d 16y agoExtremely beautiful UI. Great work!
- bruceboughton 16y agoIndeed... wonder why they went for jaggy rotated screenshots on the homepage though.
- grk 16y agoPretty awesome that it's opensource.
- koevet 16y agoIs anyone able to outline the main differences between Basecamp and Teambox? I have just started using Basecamp - I like it, but I feel that is not exactly what I want for running my projects...a bit too "stiff".
- malte 16y agoI would say Teambox is a twitter-like approach to project management. You can either refer your message to a specific conversation/task or just make a status update like "Working on xy". I have used Basecamp for years, and the main difference is, that Teambox is (in my opinion) better to stay on top of conversations. I've often found myself losing track of conversations in Basecamp because of new threads being opened and older threads moving to another page.
- ten7 16y agoI have to agree with you. Although BC's new "most active discussions" at the top of Messages does help.
- raptrex 16y agoCan someone who has tried Teambox and Open Atrium (http://openatrium.com/ http://openatrium.com/) give their opinions on both?
- ajaimk 16y agoThis is exactly what I needed! Open Source for the win.
- fdb 16y agoWe have this running in our organisation on our own server and it works great! We had some issues with SMTP configuration, but for the rest the installation was very easy, thanks to Phusion Passenger.
- juvenn 16y agoAnd, it supports markdown, ++
- caustic 16y agoI think this is the beginning of the new generation of project management tools that focus on communication instead of planning and reporting.
- whimsy 16y agoThe only thing that I would miss from Pivotal is velocity-tracking.
- emilis_info 16y ago2:54 "... even though he is sick at home he is working on this new task ..."
- camwest 16y agoWas I the only one that was getting anxious by seeing the words "Gantt Chart" in the screencast?
- unixcharles 16y agoYou should not be anxious about chart, maybe try Paxil, Xanax. lol No, seriously, what's wrong with Gantt chart?
- arturadib 16y agoAm I the only one who sees 37signals all over this product?
- bigtones 16y agoYes.
- Pistos2 16y agoI used TeamBox a short while a few months ago, but switched to Pivotal Tracker, and haven't looked back. My opinion is that PT is excellent for development teams (or even solo developers).
