To put my 2 cents into the basecamp/wrike discussion, I would prefer to toss LiquidPlanner into the discussion. Wrike does have the collaboration and drag & drop gantt chart (that basecamp is lacking) but LiquidPlanner has a powerful scheduling engine with ranged estimates, allowing for more realistic schedules. Also, LiquidPlanner is a great tool for managing resources across multiple projects, and flagging when a resource is overloaded and his/her milestones are at risk of being missed. Does Wrike do that?

@Scoti You can re-open the file in Gantter. It’s a bit strange (for a web app) in that you save data locally.

A question. If I don’t have Microsoft Project, does that mean that I can’t open the downloaded file?

@Josh – I mentioned Basecamp as it’s the most popular app for managing projects that I know of. Gantter and Bascamp (and most other online PM tools) have different use cases. Basecamp is good for managing projects, communicating progress, etc, whereas Gantter is for planning and estimating. Wrike probably does span the middle ground here as it has Gantt charting.

Agreed that Project is way too expensive for a product that hasn’t seen any serious improvement or development in years.

@tom It does look very much like a Google Docs tool, but I think that’s quite unlikely. Project is quite a niche app compared to the rest of the Office suite.

I don’t think that Google will buy anything that has less than 100 000 confirmed users. Anyway, it sounds like a good app for those who doesn’t need any collaboration, simply a gantt chart and doesn’t want to pay for the Project license, which is way too expensive. It’s weird you mention Basecamp in this post though, as it doesn’t have any chart. I think a tool like Wrike.com could be a better reference in this case. It has drag and drop support for creating tasks, rescheduling them and building dependencies on the gantt chart, which is pretty cool.

my guess is Google will buy this web app within the next couple of week following an integration into Google Docs…
