Project-Management Software For Linux?

Posted by Cliff on from the drawing-up-pretty-charts dept.

X asks: "Is there such a thing as Project-Management Software for Linux? I'm working at a company that is more than happy to let me stay in a Linux world if I can provide the appropriate documents. So far, Star Office, Latex, etc. have given me a fair bit of mileage, but now I'm stuck: I need to produce a project plan, and I need to produce PERT and Gant charts, and all that good stuff that everyone else does with Microsoft Project. So what I want to know is: are there ANY alternatives? I'd live with just about anything that gave me away to produce the appropriate graphs and let me perform the appropriate calculations. The best I can come up with to date is to use Gnumeric to do it all, which is just crazy."

  1. Well, not really project management by Gorgonzola · · Score: 2

    As far as producing the diagrams, you might consider Dia, although I am the first to admit this is not really project management software and does not pretend to be. It aims to become the Visio of the Unix world.

    I found this
    which seems to do PERT Charts at least.

  3. Project Management Software FAQ by SEWilco · · Score: 2
    The Project Management Software FAQ does not yet list any confirmed Linux products. R-T-R has something for Linux, but I haven't seen anything other than what's on their web page.

  4. Web site devoted to Linux Project Management by bko · · Score: 2

    http://linas.org/linux/pm.html

    This is the best site I've seen on the subject. If there's software that's not available or listed there, then please, please, please email the maintainer -- he's actively maintaining the site.

    I think the closest there is out there currently is the work being done on porting outlook to gnome. at least, i say closest in that outlook sorta lets you collaborate with not a lot of fuss.
