OpenProj is a free, open source project management solution and is intended as a complete replacement of Microsoft Project and other commercial project solutions. Unlike Project, it’s compatible with Linux and Mac OS X as well as Windows so it may prove attractive to users of those platforms.

OpenProj an advanced scheduling engine with Project-ON-Demand and has Gantt Charts, Network Diagrams (PERT Charts), WBS and RBS charts, Earned Value costing and more.

OpenPlanning Lite can be download for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows and can also be used via a web browser. It’s the free version of their business solution OpenPlanning and ProPlanning, which come with a rangle of individual and workgroup licenseing bundles, and you can upgrade to these at any time.
OpenPlanning Lite consists of…
- A basic project management client application (projects are limited to 20 tasks).
- A public online repository to exchange plan expertise with professional peers.
- Community support through the online forum.
OpenPlanning Lite projects are accessible on all platforms (Mac OS X, Windows, Linux) and may also be read by ProPlanning.
There’s a fairly large number of public project plans and templates available for you to use. e.g. building a house, software development, moving house or starting a new business. Of course, if you create a really useful project, then you can post it up for use by the rest of the community.
