• 06-07-2010: Version 2.6 has been released. This adds date menu functions for actions, to move start/enddates for single items or entire groups, making the Gantt chart much more user-friendly. Also, groups now display the summary date range in the Gantt chart. It also fixes a few bugs in the viewing algorithms.
• 19-04-2010: Version 2.5 has been released. This adds a very useful quick filter box which filters out items based on a single piece of text.
• 24-12-2009: Version 2.4 has been released. This fixes a few bugs and adds a simple 'Export HTML' function to be able to send out reports with mail for example.
• 19-04-2009: Version 2.2 has been released. This adds mail, call and payment items (reminders). It also adds icons for all the item types, and now allows a default type for groups, so a double-click in the item list will add the preferred type (although you can still mix items types within one group).

Organiser 2 is a planning & project management tool that helps you to hierarchically store things-to-do, tasks, facts, web locations, file locations, contacts and such for quick overviews. Given an intuitive interface, you'll quickly be able to get a grasp on the things that need to be done. Organiser 2 is the successor to Planner, which is more rigid in its structure (client/project/milestone). With Organiser, you get to choose where you need to subdivide your tasks into groups.

Features:

• A free alternative to MS Project for projects where require less statistical information (though the projects don't necessarily have to be small).
• Easy grouping of all your actions (with planning) and related tasks into groups that you define and modify as projects grow larger or smaller.
• Supported items include simple todo's, contacts, facts, agreements, actions (tasks with start & end dates), locations (websites, folder locations or even single files), mail, call and payment reminders.
• User-friendly intuitive interface.
• Tasks can be 'Waiting For' to get an overview of things you still require from people (see this tutorial).
• Gantt chart to get a visual look on your planning, including visualization of action progress/overdue actions etc.
• Fits the 'Gettings Things Done' method from David Allen perfectly.

Organiser is recommended for:

• Small to medium-sized projects, covering no more than 1 year of planning. More than 1 year is certainly possible, but for that you may probably want to turn to bigger applications such as Microsoft Project.
• People using Planner, wishing for a more flexible layout. Organiser is your answer; it does all the things Planner does and more!
