Open Atrium, Open Source Project Management Software with Beauty in Mind

Did you use project management software?

Well, you should. It will keep you and your team to focus to what necessary to be done, or to communicate among your team.

Todays, it’s easy to find great project management software. Well just say Basecamp, goplan, unfuddle, many others. They give you free account to try their services.

Basecamp

Wait, you need project management software for your big project and you don’t have any money?

No problem. Take a look at Trac, Redmine and others. Well, with some struggle to install, you can use it for free.

Hmm..

Now, what? Well, I like commercial project management software because mostly they offer you more beautiful interface, and more easy to use. Trac is powerful but for me it’s just not as user friendly as the commercial one.

Then try Open Atrium.

What is Open Atrium?

Open Atrium is project management software, open source, and created using Drupal. So, installing Atrium is very similar to installing Drupal

Features

  1. Blog, a classic blog for each group that has commenting, file attachments on both the post and comments, and granular notifications.

  2. Calendar, a calendar that lets you quickly add events, suck in iCal and other calendar feeds, and support single or multi-day events.

  3. Shoutbox, kind of like a private twitter, the shoutbox lets you share short messages, links, and information with just the people in your group.

  4. Case Tracker, a full ticketing system that lets you assign to do’s and create unlimited projects within each of your groups. The case tracker also lets you classify the to do, give it a priority, and manage its status.

  5. Document, a simple online handbook that lets you collaborate on documents, store and compare revisions, attach files, and once you’re done print out the final copy

  6. Group Dashboard, mini widgets give you a snapshot of all the activity happening across your groups. Think iGoogle, in that you can turn on what you want, turn off what you don’t, and arrange it all however you’d like.

  13. I think that project management software would help law practices operate more effectively in terms of client time keeping, task management and budget control. However you need to develop a process in order to be able to do this rather than considering which software to use.
