OpenProj is an open source desktop project management application similar to Microsoft Project.

OpenProj is interoperable with Project, Gantt Charts and PERT charts.

One great feature is that provides the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) to order and control the tasks of the project for people who manages projects this is a very important tool. Another great feature is the Resources Breakdown Structure (RBS) to define the structure of the resources, teams, providers, etc. Task Usage and Resource Usage are features to control your project and provide a good track on it. The Report tool provides information about the current status of your project. OpenProj provides tools to open at the bottom of the window and provide different views of the project at the same time; Histogram, Chart, Task Usage and Resource Usage are the tools that you can open at the bottom of the window to have a better perspective of the advance or delay on your projects.
