ProjectManager review

ProjectManager ranks ninth. It is a traditional project management tool with the Gantt chart at its center and documented critical path management and WBS planning, and the Team plan plans and runs work in Gantt, list, sheet, board and calendar views with real-time updates. Team has no user minimum, allows up to 10 users and 20 projects, and gives unlimited free guest licenses with read-only access to plans, status, milestones and dashboards. Business removes the user limit, allows up to 100 projects and adds resource management, workload planning, time tracking and timesheets, expenses and budgeting, a QuickBooks Online sync, portfolio dashboards and a portfolio roadmap in Gantt format. That makes it a fit for project managers who track cost and hours against the schedule. The pricing page did not render a dollar figure when we fetched it, so the price is pending, and the most useful controls sit on Business.
