Gantt Project

Gantt charts. Pretty good progress tools, vilified by overly complex project management software (and I'm not just talking about MS Project).

Myself, I find I only need the basics when setting up a project: resources, tasks, dependencies, and a nice little chart. That's all really. The prospect of having to work with one of the PM behemoths to set up my little web projects seems silly, so I went on a search for something else. I landed on Basecamp (a great hosted tool by 37Signals) but it didn't meet all of my requirements (charting, dependencies). So it was on to my next stop, SourceForge, and wouldn't you know it, I found a little program that could.
