I am looking for a Unix-based (SUN platform) project management tool
to aid in project planning and tracking for a 40-60 person project.
I am looking for something other than SunTrack. Microsoft Project
appears to have nice features - but alas only runs under Microsoft
Windows. My requirements are a Mac-like user interface, multi-level
views of the project (sub-projects, tasks, activities), an alternate
flat project view, resource leveling, good tracking, and ideally
multi-user support.

Also, has anyone had any experience with a tool called HP Softbench?

Last, but not least, I am looking for a tool that aids in rate chart
preparation and performs the projected project completion date
calculation. In case terminology is a problem, a rate chart is a
graph of actual vs. plan accumulated Milestones to date by reporting
interval.

Please respond via e-mail.

Thanks in advance.
