Open Workbench is project management software, a free, open source alternative to Microsoft Project. It is the successor to Niku's Project Workbench.
Currently, Open Workbench only runs under Microsoft Windows 2000, XP and 2003 and requires Sun JRE version 1.3.1 or later.
Although it is provided as free software, you still need the pricey Clarity suite if you want to use a central database to manage enterprise collaboration. With Clarity's Schedule Connect module, it can specifically link to many PCs with Open Workbench 1.1 installed. The module installs on both centralized server and the desktops, adding database access to Open Workbench’s screens.
