ProjectLibre is used by our IT department to manage our infrastructure and development projects. We've been using it for many years and best of all, the software is open source and compatible with our Windows 10 and Linux operating systems that our IT team uses in the office. The software allows us to go further and we have the routine of creating diagrams and different types of graphics to improve our management and control of micro activities within the projects of the areas. It has a friendly and intuitive interface and with a simple training it is possible to master all the features.

Our company needed software to manage projects, times and requirements, without forgetting important activities and sequentialities. Our main problem was the inexperience, due by the fact that we had never used project management software. It was essential for us to find a simple tool, within everyone's reach that would allow us to organize the activities clearly and functionally.

I do use the libre office as it is free and a great alternative to competitors like Microsoft and WPS Office which are in some way or the other paywalled. I am also a frequent user of libretorrent on my smartphone as it is by far the best P2P client I have come across.

ProjectLibre was used as a tool for teaching students about project management softeare. ProjectLibre gave our students the chance to learn about a number of project related concepts including resource management, task management, project planning, lead/slack times and much more. Students were able to after, apply their learning to a case study and also develop project plans and Gantt charts for their own projects.

My team and I use ProjectLibre for the following -

1) Access project plan created using MS Projects - MS Projects license is expensive and we cannot have all users assigned one. This is where ProjectLibre comes in

2) User interface is simple and friendly. It hardly takes anytime for anyone to get go with it

3) Printing options are friendly too - you are able to adjust paper sizes, timescales, etc.

As an IT Management instructor, I use ProjectLibre (open source) to show my students an efficient way to manage their projects. I have also used ProjectLibre to manage my own projects in Language Development and Translation. In my opinion, ProjectLibre is easier to use than MS Project; yet ProjectLibre can be used to open MS Project files.

I have to start this with a caveat because, if we had been able to get past a personal hurdle, I would have pushed for its use in the company I consulted with everyone. We approached it in the hopes of managing several employees, as well as the timeline of their work. Previously, the company used Excel and Sheets (Google Drive) (more on this in a bit). It addresses the complications of time management for those who are number-resistant; ie - more visually friendly.

ProjectLibre is an Opensource alternative to Microsoft Project. it allows users to design workflows, track projects, and related expenses. It does most of everything most project management tools do. In my business, we use Project Libre when we are designing new products, and this helps a lot, so we don't put the cart before the horse or spend too much time waiting on something to complete when we could also be preparing something else. As we're going along the product development cycle, we develop a new product, and we can also start looking at packaging criteria and design even before we have the actual product in hand and also have everything ready as we need it.

This software is used by the IT department, specifically the project area. It is an open-source program specializing in project management of the company. Its operation is very similar to Microsoft Project that we used once. The main objective of the team using this software is to maintain an organization and management of development and infrastructure projects.

ProjectLibre is being utilized as a replacement for Microsoft Project. ProjectLibre is a low-cost option and allows all of the functionality to track projects and milestones. It is currently only being used by a small group in the department. It addresses the concerns of project track and allows for staying on track.
