Team 226 started using SmartSheet (
www.smartsheet.com) in 2014-2015 as our team project management tool. It has Gantt chart capability. We also use SmartSheet to create forms for sign up, membership tracking, and others. In the past, we used Excel, but that did not work well as it was difficult to share and edit by multiple students at the same time. We evaluated many different project management tools including:
www.SmartSheet.com
www.LiquidPlanner.com
www.Teamwork.com
www.5pmweb.com
www.Redbooth.com
www.MavenLink.com
www.Zoho.com
www.Wrike.com
www.BaseCamp.com
Gantter (plugin)
and selected SmartSheet (at $400/year) as our tool. Gantter was eliminated from our selection because when multiple users are updating data, the last person's data will override other user's data. Gantter can still work well if only one person is allowed to edit the data at a time. In our first year using SmartSheet, we did fairly well by creating and tracking tasks. This upcoming year, we are seeking to further improve our project management skill by leverage more SmartSheet capabilities.
On communication, we use GoogleGroup to email team updates weekly to all members and parents. Parents really appreciate this so they know what is going on with team events and activities.
