TaskJuggler, alternative Linux à FastTrack Schedule
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
TaskJuggler can replace FastTrack Schedule for users who are comfortable with a text‑based workflow and don’t need a polished graphical UI. It covers the core scheduling, resource allocation and cost tracking functions, and it can generate Gantt‑style HTML reports. However, it lacks built‑in collaboration tools, native Excel/PDF export, and an interactive drag‑and‑drop Gantt editor, so teams that rely on those features will need work‑arounds or additional tools. For solo planners or technically‑savvy project managers who prefer scriptable definitions, TaskJuggler is a solid free alternative.

Ouvrir vos fichiers FastTrack Schedule
FastTrack Schedule uses a proprietary file format; there is no documented importer for TaskJuggler, so direct opening is not possible. You would need to recreate the project in TaskJuggler manually or export FastTrack data to a neutral format like CSV/Excel and then convert it to TaskJuggler’s text syntax. The exact feasibility depends on the complexity of the original file.
Passer de FastTrack Schedule à TaskJuggler, étape par étape
- Export your FastTrack project to CSV or Excel if the option exists
- Map the exported columns to TaskJuggler resource and task attributes
- Create a new .tjp file following TaskJuggler’s syntax and paste the mapped data
- Run the TaskJuggler command‑line engine to generate HTML reports
- Verify schedules, resource loads and costs; adjust the .tjp file as needed
