Gantter: THE online MS Project Clone

Gantter is a web app that just blows me away. It is the closest thing I’ve seen to running Microsoft Project in a browser.

Simply incredible! I can’t speak to all the fancy stuff the MS Project can do, but I can tell you that it does all the sorts of things I do on project plans. Importing/Exporting to MS Project files is a really cool touch as well.

Check it out (free) at gantter.com. There’s also an about page up with more information and some online help.

Next time I need to put together a plan I’ll reach for this instead of reloading my crufty old copy of MS Project ‘02.

A bit more info, from the site:

Gantter is a free (gratis) web-based project management tool. You can think of it as a web-based Microsoft Project. It helps you to:

  • plan and estimate your project (duration, work, cost) by splitting the project into a number of tasks
  • review you plan using Gantt chart
  • manage project resources (work or material) and assign them to tasks
  • manage project calendars (set working times, add holidays etc)
  • manage resource calendars (working times, vacations etc)
  • control your project’s progress by setting % complete values to each task
  • review critical tasks

Just like in MS Project you start by adding tasks, setting dependencies between them (Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish, Start-to-Start), indenting them to create summary tasks. Then you add resources, modify their calendars if necessary, assign resources to tasks.
