Overall Satisfaction with ProjectLibre

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.
  • It opens Microsoft Project files, therefore making it somewhat unrestricted in use or sharing files from MS Project.
  • It has a simple and familiar user interface.
  • Can they please create some kind of collaboration tool among groups?
  • The interface can do with some modernization.
  • It's free. The only investment required is your time.
  • Product development efficiency has increased significantly, therefore saving this company a lot of time and money. It also allows us to get products to market in the shortest time possible.
The significant reason for choosing Project Libre is that it's free and my business is very small. In fact, we have less than 10 employees. It's easy to learn, especially since its interface is very similar to the leading project management software. It wasn't a hard choice at all, and I would recommend ProjectLibre to any small business or start-up organization
It's simple to use once you know what your objectives are and the steps to get there. There is a lot of support online via the online manual, the ProjectLibre community, and of course Youtube

ProjectLibre is a great project management tool, especially for small businesses that don't have the budget to purchase commercial project management apps. Furthermore, while a bit challenging to learn, it's still easier than most of the others, and you can still read or open files from MS Project. These are just a few features that would make it affordable and attractive to most small businesses or startups.
