Description
Drawing a project schedule in a spreadsheet means redrawing the Gantt chart every time a date moves, while MS Project is expensive. GanttProject covers that gap — enter tasks, durations and dependencies and the Gantt chart builds itself, with later tasks shifting automatically when a date changes.
Open-source and free, on Windows, macOS and Linux, Java-based and ready after install.
Gantt scheduling: create tasks, set durations and drag the bars while the chart updates live; with dependencies set, a delay upstream reschedules everything after it.
Breakdown and milestones: nested subtasks, percentage complete and milestone markers keep progress legible on a large project.
Resource allocation: assign people to tasks and read a resource load chart to see who is overbooked and who has capacity, avoiding three simultaneous assignments.
Import and export: read and write MS Project files, and export PDF, PNG and CSV for reporting.
No connection needed: a pure desktop application storing project files locally, with no account or subscription.
