How to create a better office environment with furniture, supplies, and products

Hi,

If you're looking for simple binary management of tasks (done/not-done), then you might take another look at Basecamp. Even the free account allows you to have multiple lists even if you only get one "project". Regardless, if you could share some insight on why dotProject* didn't meet the requirements, I'd love to hear...

Oh, and one of the problems with NetOffice is that it is no longer under active development. Much of their community is steadily joining the dotProject community.

Thanks.

Hi Keith,
Thanks for your comment! I didn't include dotProject in the list because according to Stephanie, "certain tools, like dotProject, are more for serious project managers and are often too complicated for basic collaborating. Software like this sometimes takes more time than it saves."

As a core member of the dotProject team, would you disagree with her assessment that it's not for beginners?

For basic collaborating, it's probably overkill as you generally don't start off with due dates, tracking time, reporting, etc. In that scenario, I would recommend Basecamp... and I use that on a daily basis for those "binary-type" tasks.

Once you move past that stage and/or more people get involved, dotProject begins to shine. You can create your tasks, assign individuals ( they'll get email notificaitons), then everyone can log time against the tasks, and you can track it.
