Don't pay for Project Management Software

Open ATrium

update: 11/17/2011

Open Atrium is a great project management tool.  It is built on Drupal and is completely free.  It comes as an install package with all of the administrative setup tasks required of a Drupal Build out taken care of.  It does this with a system profile to give you similar features to BaseCamp or other such project management utilities.  Open Atrium is completely free but requires hosting. 

This system allows users with hosting resources to break through the limitations of externally hosted and pre packaged software. Open Atrium is built on a simple, slick design that has all of the benefits of running on an open source content management system.  It opens up incredible customization capabilities.  You can add any modules available to the Drupal community or build your own.

iPhone app for atrium would be great

Hi,I think an iPhone app for Atrium would be great and when using already Atrium otherwise, it would be worth to pay couple of euro of it. Aren't we saving money by using open source and ready to pay a cup of coffee for the great people to keep them going on? ;)

I have not used any iPhone

I have not used any iPhone applications for Drupal administrative functions yet but I have heard iDrupal may be a good solution coming.  It is not yet stable, but there is a release available.  It may be worth contacting someone on that development team or someone at the Open Atrium team to see if this is on roadmaps.

Have you heard of this management app?

I am also reviewing project management tools that will fit for any company. I do recommend Pivotal Tracker. This agile project management tool has an app where you can collaborate with any people in your company even if your not in the office. I don't see any collaborating apps with this unique feature.

Open Atrium looks great. This

Wow thanks for the great link

Wow thanks for the great link mate. I am paying for one project management software now (I will not mention it's name because of strange circumstances), but if there is some good and free one, why not? It will be ten times better then pay a big sum for some applications. I will definitely try Open Atrium and see how it goes. Thanks one more time for posting an entry about it. I have bookmarked your blog and will be following it in the future. Thanks!Sincerely,George Mattson from software development services
