Can someone recommend a free project management tool or template that can be easily used to track projects? What is the best alternative to Microsoft Project? Thanks.

I'm not familiar with any myself, but this blog has a bunch listed: Free Project Management Software - SoftwareProjects.org

Jodith - great reference. Thanks!

IIona,

I used a great product called Kickstart. I would get so frustrated with Microsoft Project because it didn't meet my needs. I needed a program that was easy to navigate, provided clear documentation of timelines and tasks and allowed me to customize it to each project. Kickstart was just what I needed and I used it extensively while I was an EA. Although it's not free, it's very reasonably priced. I highly recommend it. You can download a free trial to test it out.

Project Management Software, Project Planning Software: Project Kickstart

Good luck.

Ilona, it all depends on what your needs are. I would recommend to take a look at our project management software Online Project Management Software Free and Tools: Project Management, Team Collaboration, Effective Communication, Time Tracking - COMINDWORK. It's free (all features, but limited to one active project).

As a satisfied customer I recommend planningforce software. View more information here Project Planning and Management Tool - PlanningForce

I have a template, too bad this site will not accept MS Project files.

There can be no doubt - best alternative to Microsoft Project is www.yutiti.com . Really easy to use and froo of charge.

I use manymoon.com; the basic version is free, and you can collaborate with others in your office (or anywhere!), which is a great way to keep your Exec notified of what you're working on and what your workload is on a given day. I have found that it really helps to streamline certain processes, and I'm considering inputting my day to day tasks on it. Putting them on outlook isn't working for me.
