Free Community Edition
Need something to fix your process, your reporting and your resourcing?
Something that is easy to set up and use and great value?
Widely recognized as the best free project management software
Free Project Management software as used by almost half a million users worldwide.
The PROJECT in a box free software bundle has been available to anyone involved in Project Management for over 15 years. Over that time it has been downloaded by 500,000 people worldwide and been constantly updated and added too. It now consists of three totally free applications, which can be used forever, amazingly these are not time limited trials as you see with many seemingly free products.
Three Products in One Bundle
Community Edition
The original free Project Management product.
Methodology and document management support for your projects.
It comes with a range of free methods including PRINCE2, Praxis, Scrum, and a range of scaled generic waterfall projects methods.
You can create as many projects as you want and each will be populated with the processes and templates you need to deliver your projects. The tool then supports you step-by-step through your project with:
Planner
Planner is a hugely popular tool, providing a lighter and therefore easier-to-learn planning interface than MS Project. Without getting too complex, it boasts powerful planning capabilities including resourcing and cost management.
Planner also supports risk, issue, and change management, putting all your project controls in a single application. Reviewed in Project Manager Today in 2017, they called it a 'professional standard planning tool' and asked 'why pay for a planning, risk and issue application when you can have this one for free?'
.piabx Viewer
.piabx Viewer is the latest addition to the free tools family.
It allows you to view, edit or customize .piabx templates.
PROJECT in a box launched their own .piabx templates standard in 2018 to address some of the shortfalls with word templates.
And again, remarkably, you can get this technology for free.

PROJECT in a box Community Edition: Totally Free
Thoughtfully assembled, this pack of applications supports all the needs you might have for small projects and is totally free.
Over the years many organizations have adopted this pack as their standard tool set.
Of course it is also possible to take your projects, plans etc, and move them into commercial PROJECT in a box tools, to support team working and more corporate requirements like reporting as you might outgrow the personal nature of these.
