Not sure if this is the right place but..
I need to get the hold of a Project management package which will let me create a plan comprising approx 100 tasks/subtasks with the usual mix of required start dates / finish dates / dependencies and resource constraints. One other important feature is I need to be able to share it with a chap based overseas - who also needs full edit capability. The ability to produce a Gantt chart view of the data is a prerequisite.
It would also be handy - though not an absolute requirement - if it could import/export data from and to excel/other spreadsheet packages.
Google throws up a proliferation of options - many of them nominally with free 'trial versions'. The free ones invariably have limited functionality, and you have to create an account and start using them before you discover what functionality has been omitted. I've been through three already this morning and life's too short..
Back in the day I used the full featured version of MS Project in the big Corporate environment, and know my way round most of the major functionality. Not sure whether to fork out for the full blown MS Project up front here, or whether there are other alternatives that would suffice to get things up and running, with a view to possibly exporting everything to the MS platform later.
Anybody come across or using something that might be suitable ?
Thanks,
Alan
