Currently 2 person programming team, with a project manager whom doesn't have any experience in Project management. So really need something very simple, that will hold the hand of a project manager.

Far more important than features is开发者_如何学运维 ease of use. I could deal with a gloried ToDo list - but I would like milestones.

Thanks

BaseCamp? Good enough for a two-person team to keep track of todos, milestones, and some basic communication.

Any software you select now will just add interference to the process of learning to be a project manager. For such a small team pencil and paper, even a whiteboard and pens, will be sufficient. When you (or the PM) have learned the basics of project management, then is the time to start thinking about software support.

If pencil and paper is too simple, try a word processor and spreadsheet.

Look at Project kaiser. Free for 5 users, there are milestones, issues on unlimited hierarchy and more.

For novice project managers RationalPlan is the best choice. The embedded project guide will help the project manager step by step to plan and control the projects. More helpful would be to start learning the basics in project management and map those on the application.

This is the way to evolve but you can also keep things very simple by using some spreadsheets or To Do list software.

For a simple, no-nonsense, agile project management solution, I highly recommend Pivotal Tracker. Check out the intro video on the Learn More page to get a feel for how the tool works.

PS - Send your project manager my best wishes! :)
