KS-ProjectPlanner FreeWare, version 3.7.0 is another excellent alternative to MSProject. In fact, it is much easier to learn; ten minutes opposed to an hour. It uses built-in algorithms on functions with three variables that accommodate the equation at the heart of project management:
Duration = Work / assigned Units
The calculation is made by a fixed numeral and the variable. While this method represents the model for all modern project application software. KS-ProjectPlanner utilizes broader practicality as it defines varying work items. Additionally, storage of projects is achievable on a MS-SQL Server. It has a clean user interface, Gaant chart, and resource chart.
