What sort of project management software should I use for a small team?
I'm currently working on a project with about half a dozen other people. Currently we are using sharepoint to track assignments, issues, the overall timeline, etc... The problem is that sharepoint works but is overkill.
I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any good software for a small team would allow us to assign tasks, track issues, and give a good view of overall progress (my boss likes the gantt chart in sharepoint for this).
Thanks.
edit: Sorry, forgot to add that I don't think an online system is an option right now.

- philiphodgen 15y agoYou don't mention what types of projects, and you don't mention the usual Mac/PC/Linux/etc. qualifier. I'm guessing Windows because of the Sharepoint reference, though. On the offchance you're on Mac . . . . Daylite from marketcircle.com is what we use for project management/task tracking/calendaring for a team of 4 people. I would say my recommendation is "Damned with faint praise" and if there were a plausible alternative I would probably look seriously at it. But there doesn't seem to be anything else for the Mac. Don't buy Daylite Touch for your iPhones (if you use iPhones). Absolutely positively do not buy their time/billing program -- what a little piece of antimarketing THAT product turned out to be. No GANTT charts in Daylite, though. Your boss won't be happy. I too looked at Sharepoint and ran screaming.
- serge2k 15y agoWe have developers using both windows and mac. We have 2 parts to the project, one is a flex app and the other is iOS. He likes the gantt chart, but if there is another good solution then I think he would be fine with it.

- serge2k 15y agoI don't think my boss will be open to it. Feel free to suggest and I will bring it up next time I meet with him.
- NameNickHN 15y agoIn that case I would recommend Basecamp. It's probably not the ultimate solution but it's simple enough if you like to work with to-do lists.
- davyjones 15y agoYou might want to look into Trac: http://trac.edgewall.org/ http://trac.edgewall.org/.
- cusackalex 15y agoBasecamp is a good one. http://basecamphq.com/ http://basecamphq.com/ Super simple. Just the tools you need and nothing more.
- sdfjkl 15y agoFor management-level: Trello (possibly with a few links to Google Sites/Docs where you need to write things out in detail) For source code management, issue tracking and developer wiki: Fossil SCM (or Trac+SVN)
