I also oppose the theory of ‘one siz fits all’. But with my experience I have found that there are two types of PM tools. I define the two category’s as
a) Less is More
b) Give me more ( features)

As a design company we always preferred the former. We have wonderful experience with Base camp and active collab.
Off late we have shifted to http://www.remindo.com It has powerful and simple project management and social networking features. We are loving it.

Thanks for this great list! I have just tried out the demo of ProjectThingy, and Oh My God!

I love it. The initial experience, for the short-attention-span crowd (i.e., me!). Let’s you get and try it out instantly, without any signup. This is CRITICAL!

And it’s so intuitive. I immediately get it. I love how when you set up a new project (a) of course, it’s very easy, (b) it gives you a little box that says “Misson”. Much more fun than “objective,” or “target”. Lots of nice little touches like this. Yum.

we use the enterprise edition of wrike, and the gantt chart features work a dream. With enterprise you can link together linear tasks, which gives you drag and drop capabilities on the gantt chart view. Perfect for when ( as happens frequently) to fit in incoming projects, other planned projects have to be put on hold to make space in the programme for incoming and urgent tasks. My board love it, my team of 12 love it, and its had a big impact on efficiencies.

Thanks for these recommendations which seem to be general purpose project management tools. For folks who wish to manage a software development project consider Code-Roller. You are absoluteley right that the big issue is information overload. That was our biggest concern as well. Code-Roller is all about keeping the team focused without burning them out with too many details.

[...] For a long time, I was singing the praises of Basecamp, but recently my web working company has outgrown it. I’m no longer flying solo, with a few virtual team members on a couple of projects. I now have a business partner and nine independent contractors working on multiple projects, so we’ve graduated to 5pm. Before deciding on 5pm, we looked at a number of project management solutions, many of which I’ve reviewed in the past. Before you rush over and get an account with the project management system that works for me, check out my post Project Management, Collaboration and How Our Brains Work. [...]

I suggest you Teamwork, my company already uses it for one years and we are satisfied. We have just done the upgrade to the latest version (Teamwork 4 )which is really fantastic; they have added many features such as integration with twitter , gmail and google calendar.

@laurel will definitely check out Onehub – and it is interesting how before I saw your post, I had a client ask for something that Onehub seems like it would be perfect for. Talk about serendipity!
