    Hello to everyone, I want to know if someone know an alternative software not so overcomplicated like MS Project (at least for me), I want something simple, for an small group of developers. We need to organize our weekly work in the simplest way. Cheers.

        I know what you mean.. I tried to using that at work, after 3 days of intense study I told them we would use excel with a timeline template. Don't get me wrong I did get it working but as far as getting other people on board I knew it would take forever. And I would be the one doing all of edits and updates, no thanks. I'm a programmer and deal with custom controls all the time.. so I figured this would be a piece of cake.. wrong.. that is one whopper of a program. Try google for some alternatives.

            It's excellent; I use it for work and home projects. Dan's done a great service to the community with this project. Frankly, it works the way most developers think; and in some cases, it helps developers think in a way that they should be working. ;)

              A little question...is this program capable to automatically refresh the start date and end date for a respective task, its parent and child items?.

                There are preference settings that directly impact how a parent's date/time is affected by changes to date/time of its sub-tasks. There are settings that will recalc based off date changes, etc... Spend about 30mins messing around with creating tasks/sub-tasks and its settings, and you'll figure out quickly what it can and cannot do.

                  I've just started using this after asking more or less the same question, and by the little I've seen of it, it rocks.
