Project and Resource Allocation Tools

[SimonMac]

New role I seem to have inherited a mismatch of spreadsheets and the like, basically I have a pool of resources, and a pipeline of projects, I want an open source (Mac friendly) tool that will help me visualise the pipeline and then allocate resources to each project. I guess I want MS Project but not has hard core as I don't need the the granular level of detail milestones, just a project start and end date, and the people working on it.

Does something exist or am I stuck with spreadsheets?

You could probably do it with a Trello board

Jira could also do it

But unless it is big and complex I reckon excel is our best friend.

I use Merlin but I paid for it.

Otherwise it’s Excel, Trello or Jira.
