Do you need for free project management resources?
I noticed a big interest on several posts I wrote on this blog about Project Management topic. This is a "compilation" about the most readed posts you can find on Woork about this argument. I also added a list of my preferred applications on-line I use to manage projects and a link to MyToDoList an open source application which I developed to manage small projects.
1. Project Management templates and tutorial
Some tips to organize a project plan
Project plan template for Excel
Excel Gantt Chart Template for project management
Implement a Project Plan and manage activities with Google Spreadsheets
Gantt Chart using Google Spreadsheets and conditional formatting
Gantt Chart with EditGrid online spreadsheets
2. MyToDoList PHP
MyToDoList PHP is a free open source application I developed using PHP and MySQL. It's only a proposal you can customize how you prefer to manage small projects:
I received a lot of positive messages about this small application so actually I'm working to a serious upgrade with news functionalities and I hope to release it as soon possible.
3. On-line Spreadsheets applications
My preferred free tools to manage spreadsheets on-line:
Google Spreadsheets
Google Spreadsheets is a part of Google Docs web application suite.

This is a short list with my preferred, free on-line applications to manage projects:
Basecamp
Basecamp is the smarter, easier, more elegant way to collaborate on your internal and client projects.

Manage multiple projects with ease using Goplan's intuitive user interface. No click-trickery to get to the information you need to work on - all your projects are immediately accessible from your account dashboard, next to your assigned tasks, issues and calendar events.

Assembla.com is also a great product. And they also have a free subscription.
Hi Antonio, since all of the above are online project management software, I would suggest a website an article website: PM Hut. Updated 5 times daily, this site is a very fresh resource.
Have a look a the "Huts" section on the site.
@PM Hunt: Thanks, this is the link:

Great post! We've been using the free version of OnStage Project Portal for project management. It is pretty good.
Another good web-based project management service to check out is Intervals.
There are apps that have Gantt charts built-in, Wrike is one of them. Actually it's my favourite one. Wrike's also integrated with email, so it's really easy to create and updates tasks.
For those who need to read MS Project files here's an open source alternative:
OpenProj by Projity:

I've used Lighthouse Team by Artifact Software (www.artifactsoftware.com) with great success. They also provide a free version as well.
My company makes a project management tool (free during beta) that might be of interest... It's called LiquidPlanner and it helps manage uncertainty in project schedules. Collaborative features, too. It's definitely more robust than lightweight tools like Basecamp or spreadsheets, so check it out if scheduling is a key feature for you.
I've heard a lot of good things about Basecamp, however, my company uses SantexQ (also free) and it works really well. very clean. here's a link if you want to review it SantexQ
