    Project management software

    I am looking for a program that will help me communicate my project status to my office in the US. Does anyone have any good suggestions? I?ve used MS Project, but it?s more detailed than I need. Just need to show the team the project status and have a spot for questions that need to be answered.

    Thanks..

    M$ Project is not a project management software it is more like an enhanced scheduling tool.

    I know PM applications as well as communications tools but they are corporate tools I used when I had over 400 softwares engineers working on a project in various cities.

    I think that it is now possible to find something web based that would do just what you need for very small fees I just don't have any name in mind ATM.

    also check out basecamp by 37signals. it's quite good - web-based and very user-friendly.

    I use ActiveCollab a F/OSS variation of Base Camp, a quite nice simple interface and works well.
