Sometimes I struggle to understand how it is possible for people to put this much effort in that good of a product and be able to share it with the world, for free, and yet be able to afford a living next to that. You're all amazing and that shines through ProjectLibre !
Thank you for your nice message. We have a passion for project management and do hope to get sponsored in the future. The donations don't even cover the cost of hosting :-) However, we are improving and appreciate your message.
Build it and they will come! Brand first, profit always follow recognized brands. Hard to build a brand when profit is the priority first. Awesome work!
Wow! I'm blown away by the simplicity but yet powerful features. Thank you for your work and also keeping it free. You've done your bit for humanity. Great fellow!
I just started using Project Libre, but I am an experienced scheduler, having used Primavera and MS Project for over thirty years,. I'm bowled over by the software, it is excellent. Thanks for undertaking this effort.
Thank you so much Gustavo! I got started in Mainframe PM with PSDI and DOS days so your 30 years resonates :-) It is very much appreciated. We work hard on it and want to make a difference in the PM world.
I have (been) volunteered for a project at a non-profit with no budget for the project. This software looks amazing. I have used Microsoft Project, but no longer have access to it. From the video, this looks very intuitive so I should be able to make it useful very quickly. This will help in the planning, but will also help people understand why we can't finish it in a week.
Wish I had remembered learning about Gantt Charts back in the 90s while earning my Bachelor of Science for use while being in the Army from 01-14. This is really nice. We used MS Project in one of my Graduate Courses with DeVry.
Very well done!! Need more like this clear explanation. Only , please, slow down speech speed for non native english speakers, and also the instructions and mouse selections. It is not a race, it is a teaching and marketing lesson. And you are "acting" for the world not only USA. Thanks nad regards
Thank you for the open source and your splendid efforts. It would be great if you able to show more details on, how is the overtime rate triggered, and how to set the specific task to work in overtime. much appreciate !
Yes, we have gotten that a couple times.... it turns out both ProjectLibre and Microsoft Project do overtime in a way that does not seem intuitive. This has us discussing internally. We want to do a few more videos but time just seems to get away. We'll try this week.
What's funny is that I was looking for something like this a couple months before this video came out and was jaded by Project Manager from Microsoft being so expensive when I just wanted to track my personal project. I may check it out later however.
thank you very much for the video, it is a very good and informative tutorial for using the software. I request you to share the best open-source software that can be used for various personal and commercial purposes
It's a pity that is only available as a .DEB file, which is restricting. Are there any .RPM versions available or APPIMAGE? I want to run it on openSUSE without the need for a Virtual Machine running Ubuntu.
Thank you so much for ProjectLibre and thank you for your videos, it helps a lot! Do you have any video how to set the calendar, and how to configure the Gantt Map in order to set the calender in Months, or weeks (have zoom out or zoom in of the calendar)?
Great job with Project Libre!. I have a question. For example, When we have a resourse overallocated in Microsoft project we can go to "resoruces-Resourses levelling- level all" to make a redistribution of the overallocated resourses. In this case, How we can solve this in Project libre??
Great question.... there was a very early discussion within ProjectLibre's team on automated or manual resource leveling. There was a win by he "purist' group and we do manual resource leveling with the histogram as a "sub-view' under the Gantt Chart.
Thank you for the nice comment! We are working very hard and have a long term dedication so it will continue improving. The next milestone is getting the Cloud version into Beta testing at the end of the month. The desktop version has a list to continue improving as well.
Anyone got any idea how to change so that the starting days of the week is Monday instead of Saturday. (Guessing that this is an difference in European vs US style)
Marc: Great, Thanks! I'd like integrate this into a new product development course at our university. I've reached out to your general support email and look forward to some discussion on this.
How to change Language, Date Format and Currency in ProjectLibre Windows OS How to change: Interface Language (e.g. from Italian to English) Date format (e.g. mm/dd/yy → dd/mm/yy) Coin Type (e.g. $ → €) Following two solutions, the second one (B) is a bit more complex then the first one (A) but more flexible: A) Create a projectlibre.conf file 1. Create a new directory in your User folder: e.g. C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\.projectlibre (note the . before projectlibre). 2. In the new directory create(*) a text file called "projectlibre.conf" (must be real a ".conf" file or it will not work). 3. As administrator edit the file and insert the string “locale=en” (without the quotes) 4. Save changes. This method changes AT ONCE the interface language, coin type and date format according to chosen the language setting. (*)Alternatively you can copy a .conf file from an other directory and paste it in the new .projectlibre one. If so remember to cancel all the previous .conf file contents B) If you are MacOS or Linux users we suggest using the first option but for WIndows users use the java launcher option settings: 1. Navigate to your installation directory, lets say C:\Program Files(x86)\ProjectLibre 2. Open, as administrator, in Notepad the "projectlibre.bat" file and change the string: - from: java -Xms128m -Xmx768m -jar projectlibre.jar - to the following (note the two lines): @echo off java -Xms128m -Xmx768m -Duser.language=en -Duser.country=AU -jar projectlibre.jar 3. Save changes. You now have set an English language interface, dd/mm/yy date format and $ as coin type. IMPORTANT: In order to work correctly you have to click the projectlibre.bat file and NOT the projectlibre.exe (or the previous desktop link to the exe file) file anymore. (This procedure works also with java 64 bit).
Yes, there is the capability to insert custom columns if you right click in the spreadsheet you can Insert Columns.... you can scroll down and insert a number column or a text column that are custom and you can rename from the generic "Text 1" to something meaningful
Hi, I just found your information from gooling. It looks very good. Thanks a lot for your cooperations. By the way can I control it's data file (pod file). I mean can I fill it from other applications? Or can I manuplate pod data from VB or C++? Regards, Mucip:)
You need to go to System Preferences.... then Security/Privacy and allow ProjectLibre to be installed. Apple has a horrendous warning because it is not downloaded from the Apple Store. You are downloading from Sourceforge. A lot of us here at ProjectLibre also have macOS and it is a problem with Apple and above our pay grade :-) Go to: * Systems Preferences * Security Privacy * Allow install of ProjectLibre Please let the community know your results!
Does ths app have collaboration features. Like can a team member update/edit a project in real time or is this just for one user at a time with no cloud support?
Good question... our Cloud version will start Beta testing this week in a limited release. It is for teams and is role based. The project team can be anywhere in the world and work together in the browser.
Can a project be combined wih the roster of crew members? So that if a person works on non standard days, like scattered over time, that the project changes accordingly?
Hi Geoff, yes ProjectLibre has multiple Calendars.... Project, Task and Resource Calendars. Example: a resource only works on M, T and it is assigned to a 4 days task... the Task will only be worked on M and T due to that constraint. The Work/Hours would only be by default 4 x 8hrs so a 32 hour work however those 32 hours would be done on M, T week 1 and M, T week 2
I have a question does this software allow using different timing formats for different project files? For example : if I'm scheduling a one day event I'd need start time and finish time on the worksheet to be in hrs:mins format while for a larger project(Spanning across weeks or months) I'd need that to show in a date format like "12 Jan 2020". The reason for this query is that MS project requires to change the general global settings each time I change from the type of schedule I'm working with so if ProjectLibre provides this minute feature I'd definitely be switching because it would make my work so much more convenient using your software. Context: I'm an engineer by trade so have to work with varying duration of schedules based on the work.
A couple notes... Project Management software in general is not really targeted for a project lasting only minutes.... that being noted, you can enter durations in minutes, hours, days, weeks or months... you can also zoom your project accordingly. You can also now change date formats from M/D/Y to D/M/Y in the preferences
@@ProjectLibreCloud Thank you for your response. So, are the date formats in the preferences a global setting (i.e. for all files) or a local setting(i.e. changeable in each file)? But my question was for stuff like a one day workshop kind of project where all the activities are done in certain number of hours/minutes.
Hi there. I sent you an email yesterday as I had created a project on which I spent almost the afternoon, and once I finished it I tried to save it to my PC by clicking on the top left buttons (diskette icon) but it didn't work as many attempts as I made, so.........apart from having gotten to save a PDF of the Gantt all my work was lost!! Question is, why save button didn't work? Thanks a lot for your prompt response.
I am sorry, this got lost.... that sounds like a Java issue was somehow impacting you. Did you get it resolved? Please send an email again and we can dig into the issue. It is not a normal issue we hear.
How would this work with multiple Project Managers having access to the same resource pool? In that case I would need to see other assignments from other Project Managers. Is this possible with ProjectLibre? Or is this only possible with the Cloud version? What is the roadmap of the Cloud version? Can the Cloud version be installed on-premise?
Hello Duncan, ProjectLibre Cloud has a central resource pool and is designed for teams. ProjectLibre desktop was designed for single use less for a team and no central resource pool.
Hi Stan, I run it on my Mac as well and have never seen that.... Do you have a constraint on the Project or tasks ? That is very strange if you want to send the project to info@projectlibre.com we can give you an answer. Thanks for the message...
In other discussion areas I read about the possibility of being able to view a project summary of multiple projects in the future. These discussion s were dated in 2016. Has this been integrated into the latest release? Or does the program have this capability now?
We have been working on the Cloud version. It has been difficult as we do not have corporate sponsorship. I am using it internally now and it does have multi project features.
I'm using the Project Libre software. Is it possible to make an activity a SS and FF at the same time? I tried to do so but it can only work with just SS or FF and not both at the same time
Thank you for the message.... ProjectLibre Cloud is in beta testing and going very well. It is a team and role based solution. It is designed for teams across multiple users to all update their tasks. We will recommend teams use the Cloud version but if it is an individual user to continue using the free desktop solution.
Good question.... we have a cloud version coming out where that will be important. ProjectLibre desktop is really designed for single user as it is not team based
What is the first column that can be seen in Task View? I hid the column, but I don't know what it is, and I don't what column to look for if I want to add it again. Also, thank you for the video (and the software)!
Great question..... it is called the Indicators column. The Indicators column displays task based status such as Complete with a green check mark if 100% percent complete. It also displays task constraints such as Must Start On date etc..... if you hover the cursor over an indicator it will show the task indicator.
Adding a spreadsheet column: it sounds like you have it covered but wanted to post for the community. ProjectLibre has a default set of columns. There are also many other pre-set columns. The empty block in the top left corner of the spreadsheet (directly above the 1) when right clicking in the box you can select other pre-configured spreadsheet columns for things like Cost or Earned Value. You can also enter a new column by right clicking in the top bar and selecting Insert Column then choosing which you would like to insert.
Hello there..... there is a standard the PMBOK and the definition of critical path tasks are red and non-critical are blue. We have a few videos that discusses scheduling.
I got a username and password set up and I think I downloaded the software but only the home page comes up after log in. Where do I go to start adding in a project?
Hi William, there is no username or password for the desktop software. You simply launch on Mac, Windows or Linux. This video shows how to start your project.
Thanks a lot! A little thing, it's not easy to move inside, the mouse wheel doesn't work on gant diagram and neather on the left side, I had to use the arrows :(.
the mouse to go up and down I mean... and may be, like in other programs, +Shift to scroll in horizontal +ctrl to zoom, etc. Anyway i will use it, i like it very much.
Hi there, there is a nuance in your question... ProjectLibre can create a Network Diagram and it is interactive. A pert chart is technically a different chart where the tasks are called Nodes and it is a chart of nodes. Pert itself is a method that we would like to employ in the future which consists of each task having an Optimistic, Pesimistic and Most Likely duration. You can weigh the probability of each estimated duration and it gives you the probabalistic duration for the task.... long answer. You may just be looking at our Network Diagram.
Hi Johnny, you can change the Date and Time format along with the language into 27 different languages..... look at the Globe icon in the top right corner. We work really hard but do have more we want to accomplish.
Sometimes I struggle to understand how it is possible for people to put this much effort in that good of a product and be able to share it with the world, for free, and yet be able to afford a living next to that. You're all amazing and that shines through ProjectLibre !

"I don't want to take too much of your time" is the main motto of this video. Great content, thank you!

Thank you SO MUCH for this. My professors will now think me less an idiot thanks to you good sir.
This is an amazing open source software and thank you for making it available!
Wow...just awesome. Haven't used MS Project in years ...was now looking for a good free tool...this has just blown me away. Awesome.
Thank you! The team works very hard and it is nice to get the comment...
Fantastic work ! ProjectLire is running on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS as a snap package without any issues. Great work.
Awesome, I ran ProjectLibre on my Ubuntu laptop for a few years. We have almost 500,000 Linux users so it is important!
Thank you for the feedback and emails. I will have a follow-up video of our upcoming ProjectLibre Cloud shortly
Wish I had remembered learning about Gantt Charts back in the 90s while earning my Bachelor of Science for use while being in the Army from 01-14. This is really nice. We used MS Project in one of my Graduate Courses with DeVry.
Thanks a lot, Marc for Software and how to use this software video both. Hats off for keeping it free. Great Philanthropy
Thank you Zafar, it means a lot!
Really great demo! Simple and to the point. Tool is also very easy to use. Thank you!
GReat product - I am building a home and this was exactly what I needed.
Thank you for an excellent delivery. I look forward to using and sharing this great product!
Fantastic work done by you guys at Libre. Kudos
Awesome software, love the features! Thank you so much for the development & your competent demonstration! I´m subscribed
So far so very good. I have joined your LinkedIn page on plan on exploring your app further.
Thanks for making this software available for a newbie in project management like myself
Thank you for your splendid efforts. Using this package a lot lately. Really great work.
I need some work on it crackother.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=730&action=edit
Thanks alot; this software is beneficial in the management of projects. I love the simplicity. I have learned a lot through the demo.
Very well done!! Need more like this clear explanation. Only , please, slow down speech speed for non native english speakers, and also the instructions and mouse selections. It is not a race, it is a teaching and marketing lesson. And you are "acting" for the world not only USA. Thanks nad regards
Good point.... it was done quickly on purpose. However perhaps we should do an international version which is more language sensitive.
youtube can play video at slower speeds.
As Atheist_Poo mentioned, click on the gear icon and lower the playback speed to, e.g., .75.
In addition, turn on subtitles: click on Cc.
Great Software, Thanks Guys !!!
Super! I will start using now!
I look forward to see where this goes, very helpfull!
Thank you! We are working very hard
Awesome work Marq. Great software and a neat demo. Thanks a lot.
Thank you Sahil!
Thank you for the free open source PM software, appreciate your efforts
You are welcome!
This is amazing. Thank you for making it open source.
Awesome explanation. Very comprehensive and useful.
Thank you for the message, we try very hard
nice job man, you save my day :)
Good luck with your projects!
Very wonderful, you have made it very easy to understand on how to use Projectlibre. Kudos Team.
Thank you! We work very hard and do have improvements we will continue to make
Thank you for the open source and your splendid efforts. It would be great if you able to show more details on, how is the overtime rate triggered, and how to set the specific task to work in overtime. much appreciate !
Yes, we have gotten that a couple times.... it turns out both ProjectLibre and Microsoft Project do overtime in a way that does not seem intuitive. This has us discussing internally. We want to do a few more videos but time just seems to get away. We'll try this week.
Splendid work, I found it helpful. Best wishes team ProjectLibre...
Thank you Hamza, the comments are appreciated..... best wishes to you as well.
Its an awesome application...Serves the purpose of the greater corprate good!
We agree!
thank you for this amazing software.
Very impressive ... Thank you!
Thanks for this - looking forward to the next parts
Wow... Thank you an I am truly grateful.
Glad it was helpful... we continue to improve
Hvala za ProjectLibru.
Baš ste dobrodošli! Za Hrvatsku i jedenje ćevapa me vežu lijepa sjećanja
Billions thanks, Bro.
Looking forward to free 'Windows' OS. Which is 100% compatible to ms Windows .
Its an awesome application!! Our task times are too tiny (minute-based). Is it possible to customize it to minutes?
What's funny is that I was looking for something like this a couple months before this video came out and was jaded by Project Manager from Microsoft being so expensive when I just wanted to track my personal project. I may check it out later however.
Great, I hope it works for you!

Hi, I would need to know if LibreProject is able to manage the same resources on different projects by giving reports about it.
Thanks
Stellar!
Good Job Marc! The tool is already fine but please make it as powerful as possible to free us from you know who ;)
Thank you for the nice comment! We are working very hard and have a long term dedication so it will continue improving. The next milestone is getting the Cloud version into Beta testing at the end of the month. The desktop version has a list to continue improving as well.

Marc: Great, Thanks! I'd like integrate this into a new product development course at our university. I've reached out to your general support email and look forward to some discussion on this.
Hello Mark, that is terrific. We are big proponents of project management education!
*I still can't figure out how ot add a cost for a purchased product for a project.*
Cost is accrued from resources assigned to tasks.... You need to have cost on the resource and have them assigned to tasks. There is a video on this.
How can I change the "standard rate" symbols on resources? I want them to be Pound or ZAR and not dollar! how can I do it?
How to change Language, Date Format and Currency in ProjectLibre
Windows OS
How to change:
Interface Language (e.g. from Italian to English)
Date format (e.g. mm/dd/yy → dd/mm/yy)
Coin Type (e.g. $ → €)
Following two solutions, the second one (B) is a bit more complex then the first one (A) but
more flexible:
A) Create a projectlibre.conf file
1. Create a new directory in your User folder:
e.g. C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\.projectlibre (note the . before projectlibre).
2. In the new directory create(*) a text file called "projectlibre.conf" (must be real a ".conf"
file or it will not work).
3. As administrator edit the file and insert the string “locale=en” (without the quotes)
4. Save changes.
This method changes AT ONCE the interface language, coin type and date format
according to chosen the language setting.
(*)Alternatively you can copy a .conf file from an other directory and paste it in the new .projectlibre one. If so
remember to cancel all the previous .conf file contents
B) If you are MacOS or Linux users we suggest using the first option but for WIndows users use the java launcher option settings:
1. Navigate to your installation directory, lets say C:\Program Files(x86)\ProjectLibre
2. Open, as administrator, in Notepad the "projectlibre.bat" file and change the string:
- from: java -Xms128m -Xmx768m -jar projectlibre.jar
- to the following (note the two lines):
@echo off
java -Xms128m -Xmx768m -Duser.language=en -Duser.country=AU -jar projectlibre.jar
3. Save changes.
You now have set an English language interface, dd/mm/yy date format and $ as coin type.
IMPORTANT: In order to work correctly you have to click the projectlibre.bat file and NOT the
projectlibre.exe (or the previous desktop link to the exe file) file anymore.
(This procedure works also with java 64 bit).
Sure wish there could be an open source server version of this (self hosted)
Hi Ronnie, we are working on a Cloud version that will be multi-project and has a dashboard etc. It will be a SaaS solution not self hosted.
@@ProjectLibreCloud That's too bad. Seems to be the norm these days...
Thanks for the video Sr, is this program able to define the project critical route?
Yes, the Critical Path is calculated and shows in red
Great thing with no cost. God Bless you Sir. Can we insert customise column/s in this ?
Yes, there is the capability to insert custom columns if you right click in the spreadsheet you can Insert Columns.... you can scroll down and insert a number column or a text column that are custom and you can rename from the generic "Text 1" to something meaningful
o yea gonna libre all my prjects

Well, can I create POD file from C++ or VB? What is file structure of POD file?
Hi- I'm trying to install on OS Ventura 13.0.1 but I'm getting an error stating that the program can't be verified.

Yes, ProjectLibre is a Java application and the JVM runs on 32 bit
How I can protect my data?? Can we use any password for protecting from any editing
Good question.... we have a cloud version coming out where that will be important. ProjectLibre desktop is really designed for single user as it is not team based
First time having computer fatigue was when using this software
What is the first column that can be seen in Task View? I hid the column, but I don't know what it is, and I don't what column to look for if I want to add it again.
Also, thank you for the video (and the software)!
Great question..... it is called the Indicators column. The Indicators column displays task based status such as Complete with a green check mark if 100% percent complete. It also displays task constraints such as Must Start On date etc..... if you hover the cursor over an indicator it will show the task indicator.
@@ProjectLibreCloud Thank you for the quick and comprehensive reply!
Adding a spreadsheet column: it sounds like you have it covered but wanted to post for the community. ProjectLibre has a default set of columns. There are also many other pre-set columns. The empty block in the top left corner of the spreadsheet (directly above the 1) when right clicking in the box you can select other pre-configured spreadsheet columns for things like Cost or Earned Value. You can also enter a new column by right clicking in the top bar and selecting Insert Column then choosing which you would like to insert.
Но, в любом случае, спасибо за видео!
Спасибо

Why there are two colors of task lines (red and blue) ? Couldn't find out...
Hello there..... there is a standard the PMBOK and the definition of critical path tasks are red and non-critical are blue. We have a few videos that discusses scheduling.
@@ProjectLibreCloud thank you!
I got a username and password set up and I think I downloaded the software but only the home page comes up after log in. Where do I go to start adding in a project?
Hi William, there is no username or password for the desktop software. You simply launch on Mac, Windows or Linux. This video shows how to start your project.
@@ProjectLibreCloud I tried and still nothing comes up so I can start anything.
Thanks a lot! A little thing, it's not easy to move inside, the mouse wheel doesn't work on gant diagram and neather on the left side, I had to use the arrows :(.
the mouse to go up and down I mean... and may be, like in other programs, +Shift to scroll in horizontal +ctrl to zoom, etc. Anyway i will use it, i like it very much.
Yes, to scroll the entire screen left to right on Mac is Function and the up/down arrows
U guys need a UI/Ux designer, I am one. Would love to collaborate and work with you guys
Yes, that is something we could use... can you send a message to info@projectlibre.com ?
How I make pert chart in project Libre kindly assist me.i am waiting your positive response
Hi there, there is a nuance in your question... ProjectLibre can create a Network Diagram and it is interactive. A pert chart is technically a different chart where the tasks are called Nodes and it is a chart of nodes. Pert itself is a method that we would like to employ in the future which consists of each task having an Optimistic, Pesimistic and Most Likely duration. You can weigh the probability of each estimated duration and it gives you the probabalistic duration for the task.... long answer. You may just be looking at our Network Diagram.
audio got better around 10:30
Interesting.... can you try again? I am curious if it is just on your connection. I tested and it doesn't seem to be any different
this opensource PM software missed lots of features, eg, can not change the fonts and date & time format. still long way to go
Hi Johnny, you can change the Date and Time format along with the language into 27 different languages..... look at the Globe icon in the top right corner. We work really hard but do have more we want to accomplish.
PLEASE ADD VERTICAL SCROLL FUNCTION IN GANTT VIEW!!!
All caps :-) Yes, we agree
