ProjectSimple claims to help people organize complicated tasks and build them into simple charts and graphs, but we found the lack of user guidance made this tool less than useful.

The program's professional-looking interface will look familiar to anyone who's used project management software before, but we found that the familiarity didn't help us get started. ProjectSimple needs a Help file or, ideally, a tutorial to walk people through the seemingly endless options. Unfortunately, when we searched for helpful hints in the usual places (the Help file, the program's folder, even the software's Web site) we came up empty. While ProjectSimple looked pretty and seemed to offer all the right elements to track project names, descriptions, team members, and calendars, it wasn't intuitive and, ultimately, we weren't able to plan an event. The program offered special features for workload and daily time management, but those were useless since we couldn't get the main functionality to move forward.

This was a professional-looking program, but without a set of instructions or even a whiff of direction, it will be collecting digital dust on most users' computers. It may be free, but ProjectSimple doesn't live up to its name--it's neither simple nor helpful for managing projects. We suggest users look for a easier-to-use tool to organize and manage project tasks and resources.
