I've decided to use OmeaPro.... but it currently does not support hierarchical views for ToDos. So it is currently quite weak for project management/ToDo's.

So, I am asking for recommendations for a simple project manager/ todo program to use until OP gets better (which the developers say will be in the next release)

Here are some of my wishes:

#1. Synch with Outlook AND/OR with Palm

#2. Can be used (customized) with GTD (Getting Thing Done) frame work

#3. Quick/easy data entry

#4. I want to be able to outline a project, assign categories to tasks and then view work by project or category.

I've played around with GTD Outlook add-in, but it not so easy to add data & it doesn't really support outlines.


Thanks

I think there are several choices, though it is debatable whether they fall into the "simple" category; you haven't mentioned "cheap" by the way so I'm not sure how they will suit your budget.

The products I am aware of that should cover most of what you want, starting with Outlook sync, are JVCGantt Pro, Project Kickstart and Franklin-Covey's PlanPlus. Do an advanced google search for the above, limiting results to domain outliners.com and you will find plenty of info in recent discussions.

Since all these programs fall in the $100+ price range you may want to reconsider whether they are worth it just as intermediate steps before the next Omea Pro release.

BTW, a significantly cheaper product, but without Outlook integration, is Agenda At Once.

I admit that I have only recently become an Outlook user, and only by necessity, so among the multitude of available plug-ins I may be missing one that fits your description much closer.

You could have a look at MLO http://www.mylifeorganized.net/ or the Outlook Franklin-Covey addin http://www.franklincovey.com/planplus/outlook/

I bought the latter and trialled the former - no longer use either, but both have an outline facility.

Not sure about the quick and easy data entry, and I'm not sure where MLO has got with its Outlook sync.
