Any project managers?

[maverickfhs]

Do we have any PM here, if so, which free software do you use for tracking projects and all?

I have looked at a few and deciding: https://zapier.com/blog/free-project-management-software/

Thanks for the help

MS Project. Takes a bit to get used to, but it's not as bad as what we used to use.

Obviously, this is only free if your office pays for the full MS offering.

What type of project are you tracking?

We use MS Project for MILCON projects.

Have used Microsoft Project and several others. Now I use excel and use OneDrive for my cloud based storage.

Maybe try Open Project? I think it's free. I haven't touched in a while, as I found my projects had all of four phases, and the real work was tracking many different projects--that I was more easily able to do in Excel.

Are you going to use Gantt, Kanban, Scrum...?

Used project a lot when I was heavily into projects.

Now just excell where I'm keeping track more of people and processes rather than detail.

MS project, sometimes excel or just PowerPoint if a ton of linking is unnecessary.

Same here. It was several years ago but as I remember the issue was sharing a timeline. Saving into other formats. Assumption is if it's still around they have dealt with all that. Or if you're stand-alone and you don't share any data with other project managers I guess you're fine

Hi there, I'm a project manager!

You can try PivotalTracker, it's cheap or Jira. Asana is also a good open source task tracker.
