Hello,

I'm looking for a good project management software for OS X.

I currently have to work a lot with M$ Project, but its ****.

Of course I could install VPC and then use Project on the Mac as well (or KIDASA which is much better) but maybe there is a good app for the Mac as well.

Thanks for your help
Cheers

You don't say what business you are in, but if it's Design then you should try 'Studio Boss' - get it from http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/index.shtml

I spent ages trying to find a project management solution for our studio and this is perfect for our needs. Hope it helps.

Hello,

thanks for your reply. I'm mainly looking for a tool to track the project status of complex technical projects, like developing and introduction of new powerbooks.

That means having a task list with owners, start and end dates, owners, pre- and sucessors and a graphical view of the project.

Cheers

FastTrack Schedule 8 (http://www.aecsoft.com/products/desktop/fasttrack/newfeatures/fts8mac.asp?bhcp=1) is what you are looking for. It is even compatible with Project.

There are even versions for Palm - MS can't touch that!

Fasttrack is definitly the way to go.
Question: I heard a rumor that MS Project was being phased out. Anybody know if this is true?

Umm. Wow. Gee, I hope not. I'm addicted to it.

Hmm. Additional impetus to "eat my own dog food" and invest in FastTrack.
