Open Workbench 1.1.6

Open Workbench is a project management software developed by Niku Corporation. It is a free desktop application that enables users to plan and schedule projects, allocate resources, track progress, and generate reports.

The tool uses a Gantt chart to visualize project tasks and dependencies, making it easy for users to identify critical paths and adjust schedules accordingly. It also features a resource allocation graph which allows for efficient management of personnel and assets.

Open Workbench can handle large-scale projects with multiple workgroups and provides real-time updates on project status. It also offers comprehensive reporting capabilities that enable users to create status, financial, and resource utilization reports in various formats such as HTML, PDF, or CSV.

Open Workbench is compatible with Microsoft Project and can import and export Microsoft Project files. It also supports Open Plan (OPS) files, so users can seamlessly integrate it with other project management tools.

For users who want more advanced features such as portfolio management, risk analysis, and issue tracking, Niku offers a paid version of the software under the brand name CA PPM (formerly known as Clarity).
