Yes, I would recommend Openproj to manage small projects, or projects the same size I would use MSP for; IMO, neither OP or MSP is suited for large projects you would use Primavera or PowerProject for.

I cannot say if there are hidden issues or not.

IO,

I don’t think so; OpenProj and Seavus are just one step above entry level

They do not have PERT analysis macro as MSP 2003 and 2007 have.

hello IO,

OpenProj (www.serena.com) is a MS Project 2003 clone; it works on Windows and Linux machines; it has all the pros and cons of MSP 2003; opens and reads mpp files, saves projects in its own format or xml to exchange with MSP 2003 or other software reading xml projects files; reports are as poor as in MSP; graphs are much better, with histograms and S curve; 100% free.

Another MSP clone is Seavus Project Planner (www.seavus.com), I would rank it a little below OpenProj; a Swedish company, they want to compete on the MSP clone market; user graphical interface better than Openproj; about the same pros and cons, except the software is not (yet?) freeware, currently $99 a single license.

Both companies signed a partnership agreement by end of 2009.

On line help is very small for Openproj, but you can find (takes time) a book written by an American girl; much better for Seavus.

I do give training on both apps, and I can travel from Paris area to your place if you are interested!

Alexandre
