Education Project Plans

If you are thinking about the individual users, I don’t think the projects we run are any different any project that any software developer would run.
It is all personal tests and a person’s proclivities for tinkering. So many factors in here.

But, my observation is that individuals rarely use full-blown project managers like MS Project or Marvin for personal projects. Task managers and calendars are used for everything else. If the task has more data and needs more input, ms excel comes to play; not much to project managers.

I personally have tried many tools for managing my courses and plan my papers (for reading, and writing them). I dig throw these tools because, as you guess it, I have the CRIMP; and that I love timelining tools (Gantt charts). But, I don’t stick to any of them; too big to be functional for private users. I used the timelining tools in MindView and Aeon to plan my projects. I am still unsatisfied because they are not integrated with my daily tasks. There is an unfortunate huge chasm between todo managers and project managers. I blame GDT for influencing todo managers to be short-sighted (incapable of long-term planning and seeing the big picture).
