13. CONCLUSIONS
OpenProj offers just the right tools to use when
doing project management for a small to medium
project.
Due to the medium dimensions of GoalBuddy, the
task scheduler and graphical representations
(Gantt) provided by OpenProj proved to be very
useful and easy to accommodate with during the
whole project management process.
