Ask HN: What project management software are you using?

10 points·nedwin··9 comments

I'm running a marketing consultancy which is starting to pick up speed and I'm keen to implement some kind of project management software.

I will be using the software to manage multiple clients and projects, to define the scope of projects and to delegate and track work.

Previously I have used Basecamp but wanted to know what the HN community was using these days.

We're using Basecamp, and slowly transitioning to Open Atrium (http://openatrium.com/). My business partner does Drupal development, which OA is written in, so it's nice fit and easy for him to customize.

Not technically "project management software," but our company uses JIRA with Greenhopper for project tracking and Confluence for project documents. The whole package can be pretty pricy for small companies.

RationalPlan (http://www.rationalplan.com/) is a good tool for project management and the Beta server might help you even more.

I have been in the need of a project management software too. Would love to hear all the good options that are out there. Especially ones that are not very expensive.

A big whiteboard that sits behind my monitor.

Aside from that, I've used FogBugz in the past and was satisfied with it.

This is all really helpful, thank you.

Other suggestions I've had are "excel" and Behance's "Action Method".

Microsoft Project to manage high-level, multiple stakeholder timings.

Highly recommend Omniplan for Mac.
