Progect, by Laurent Burgbacher, is a project management tool.

Overview

Manufacturer: Laurent Burgbacher
Platform: Palm
Current Version: Palm: 0.25

Pros and Cons

Why Did I Download/Buy This?

When I first started exploring GTD, I went looking for something outside the standard Palm applications to help me manage projects. Progect was excellent.

How Do I Use This?

Unfortunately, I do a lot of my work on my PC and use my PDA as a take-along reference. I could never use my PDA as the only place where I could see and enter tasks. Progect was replaced by Bonsai.

    Hi – have recently found your blog, and am enjoying reading – many of your thoughts seem all to too familiar to me :-)

    Anyways, thought you might be interested to know that there is actually a desktop component for progect: PDesk (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdesk/). The PC/Palm Sync setup was a little fiddly at first (for me at least – am quite impatient with tha sort of thing!), but once done, it seems to work a charm.

    I too was looking for a palm-based project manager with a desktop component as a must, and have found the progect/PDesk combination very useful. Admittedly, I’ve only been using it for a week or two, but so far so good!

      One software I tried and was very happy with is Bonsia. It’s an outliner, rather than project management, but it does what I need it to. There’s a free ebook on how I use it in the ebook section
