Hello there,
I have a job opportunity that will force me to learn project mgmt software.
I choose to use Ubuntu, and have planner application installed, and a book on MS Project 2003. I'm going to try to translate what I read into using Planner so I can get familiar with the process.
I have a coworker that uses MS Project. He has downloaded Planner and played with it, commenting that it is pretty close to MS in function.
My thought is - project planning is project planning, so all project management software is going to share a lot of features.
My question is: how many of you use Planner (from the repositories) and how do you like it?
How does it compare with MS Project?
Am I nuts to try and learn Planner this way?
thanks for the input and any other suggestions you might have to help me along. I really don't want to boot up to Windows if I can help it.
