Recommend any project management software?

Hi

Anyone recommend any project management software? (for running a Web development project)
We dont need anything too sophisticated.
It needs to be:
- Intuitive/easy-to-use
- Free or nearly free

With thanks

P.S. I was thinking of using either msExcel or even doing it 'visually' with an illustration package (in our case using Xara Xtreme Professional...)

I would recommend http://www.e-kalender.de, but it's in German, so that's probably a problem

I use it for all project and also "personal life" management and it rocks

Dotproject.

It is *not* bad... And as it is MySQL and the tables are fairly clean you can add in extra tricks with some php.

I like ToDoList ( http://www.abstractspoon.com/tdl_resources.html )

It may look complicated from the screenshot, but it really isn't. It has many features, but you can simply ignore any that do not apply

Dude, when I see all these other project management web sites - I REALLY need to make an international / English version of e-kalender.de! :P

For conceptualization (not schedules or responsibilities), Freemind. http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki....php/Main_Page

For hierarchical / site map: DiagramStudio (poor person's Vizio). http://www.diagramstudio.com/

Should this post be here? If I was after info on web construction why not post it in "Site Design and Publishing".

To answer your question, I use Joomla as it was fairly easy to get my head around and that there is loads of support for someone like me.

Hi,

You could try a product from 37signals.com Basecamp. It's lightweight (web) and very easy.

wikis are a great way to manage projects as well. This one was brought to my attention from a member at another forum
