Hi,

Is there a project managemente application that runs natively on Mac OS X? I'm thinking about something that supports Microsoft Project 2000 and the likes.

I'm somewhat surprised that Microsoft hasn't ported Project 2000 yet. Any one has heard any plans regarding this by Microsoft?

Thanks,

Vlad

This is probably the best - it even has .mpp compatibility.

Nifty. I may have to try this. I've used PERT and I'm using Project now but I'd like to have one on my mac. Are the files compatible with Project by any chance?

Thanks. You'll have to pardon my ignorance of the .mpp file extension. I'm new to Project unfortunately.

Excellent! Thanks for the heads up.

It looks like a very viable alternative to Project.

Vlad, you can also try RationalPlan as an alternative to Microsoft Project on Mac and it also open MS Project files of all types. You can find more details here:
