Looking for a good project management software


Question

At work we use MS Office 2010 Professional but it doesn't include Project. I am going to be starting a big point of concept project within the next week or two and I need to stay organized. Any suggestions on a project management software package? I do have a couple of wants/needs:

1. Preferably has a desktop app although I can live with it just being on the web but needs to be cross platform

2. Has a universal iOS app for both iPhone and iPad

3. Can be backed up to either iCloud, dropbox, or evernote

4. I am willing to pay but I need to try before I buy

I have tried teambox, podio, and liquidplanner but they don't fit what I am looking for.

For general purpose and very easy to use, Trello is quite nice. Free, has mobile apps for iPhone, Android and 8/RT, can export data, etc.

Not sure if it'll fit your project needs, but kind of partial to Yodiz for a hosted solution myself, agile, scrum, issue tracking, source control integration, has mobile apps, all that stuff, free for 5 users.

Friend of mine swears by OnTime (also geared towards developers), has similar features, along with plugins for Visual Studio, Eclipse, etc, not free though.

Trello looks awesome but I don't understand how they only have an iphone app and not an ipad app.

Can't comment on the iPad, but haven't had issues with the site on an Android and Windows tablet's browser. Supposedly they're working on an iPad app though, marked as in-progress on their board.

I am definitely going to give this a try. Hopefully the actual app will be out soon but I can live with using it in the browser form for the moment.

Yea for a general purpose planning system it's actually quite good, very flexible and absurdly easy to use.. kind of like virtual post-its on steroids. Lots of stuff you can put on the "back" of the cards, customize the workflow, etc etc. Very spiffy for a freebie.

    • This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99 by Taras Buria Those looking for an affordable, high-resolution webcam from a reputable manufacturer can check out the latest deal from Acer, which puts its 4K webcam at a solid price. Thanks to a 14% discount, you can buy this all-metal 4K webcam from Acer for just $59.99. Despite the affordable price tag, the webcam has a pretty large 1/2" CMOS sensor manufactured by Sony. Apart from its size, it supports additional conveniences, such as high dynamic range and phase-detection autofocus (PDAF). Plus, the camera ensures you do not have to buy additional audio equipment, as it comes with two built-in high-sensitivity microphones, a built-in background noise filter, and the ability to pick up your voice from up to 2.5 meters away. Acer is not cheaping out on materials, and the webcam is enclosed in a more premium metal case, which is also good at heat dissipation (high-resolution cameras can get quite hot). And to make sure no one is peeping at you when the camera is in use, there is a magnetic cover also made of metal. Additional conveniences include an LED status indicator and a built-in mount that lets you place a camera on a tripod.
