TaskJuggler is a free and open source project management tool that covers project scoping, resource assignment, cost and revenue planning, and risk and communication management. It uses an optimizing scheduler to compute project timelines and resource assignments based on a project outline and constraints, with a built-in resource balancer and consistency checker. It is operated primarily via a command shell, a plain text editor, and a web browser rather than a graphical interface, and it supports advanced scheduling, accounting, and reporting features.
