      Hi PM Team,

      Stumbled on this via one of Mauricio’s great courses and will be sharing it with my classes in the coming year. So if any of my students come across this site, you are welcome to reference it.

      Ok, We have been playing with a few lately.

      I see “Monday” has featured and have worked with it on a few projects, but can get expensive quickly on adding team members.

      My go to for my students to use are.

      Paid..

      Team Gantt. – If you are a teacher you can reach out and use your .edu and ask for a few free seats and use it in class.. We have built some great templates in there over the last few years.

      https://www.teamgantt.com/

      A nice one that is a mix of Trello and Gantt.. We have started to use this one this year for a test run and it looks and feels great..

      Timelinr

      timelinr.com

      Trello – Leave this one for Mauricio as he has done a few great videos on it .

      GanttProject – Nice freeware – this guy has been doing a great job on this for years.

      Project- kickstart

      Also, a nice little program to get a project up and running. If you are a PM teacher – hint, download and use it in Trial.. download the project files and load them up. gives you a good set to use for students – (you can then with little adjustments in excel create CSV Gantt projects to load to Team Gantt.. 😉

      https://www.projectkickstart.com/project-templates

      ok, first post, and hope this might help someone doing little research.

      Mauricio, I think we have linked on Linkedin already.. Will reach out in the new year as I think you will be interested n a few projects we have got going..

      Be well and have a good one.

      Kind regards

      Daniell

      I’ve been using Hassl, it’s almost like a combination of Trello, Slack and Dropbox all integrated into the one application. It’s currently free, cause it’s in Beta mode!! You can even create customisable statuses, which has been great for me.

      Try it out! https://hassl.co/

      I am giving a try to ClickUp. They have a free version with a lot of good stuff. I like the way the sync Outlook so you can easily see deadlines in your calendar.

      I’ve used Niku in the past and much preferred this to Project – much more predictable in behaviour

      I agree with Mauricio, ProjectLibre is probably as close as you get to Microsoft Project without actually getting it.
