Open Workbench is a free project management software focused on scheduling. It is an alternative to Microsoft Project.〔( Open-Workbench: Microsoft Project Killer? ) by David E. Essex from PM Network (June 2005)〕 ==History== Open Workbench was originally (1984) developed by Christopher H. Murray and Danek M. Bienkowski under the name “Project Manager Workbench” (PMW). They later changed the name to “Project Workbench” (PW). Outside of the USA and South America this was marketed by Hoskyns as “Project Manager Workbench” (PMW).〔http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/deliverance-from-disinformation-technology-1578807.html 〕 Niku Corporation, founded by Rhonda and Farzad Dibachi in 1998, purchased ABT and its products in 2000. Niku decided to make the software open source and renamed it Open Workbench. Computer Associates, now CA Technologies, purchased Niku in 2005. In 2009 CA Technologies partnered with itdesign GmbH to update Open Workbench. The new version was due to feature a Windows 7 look and feel UI along with other added functions. By the end of 2010 a beta, unsupported version 2.0 was released on the itdesign website. A beta version 2.1 appeared later. However no supported version was released, and the program appears to be no longer actively developed. The openworkbench.org website, created by Niku in 2000 to promote the free version, has been not working since January 2011. However, version 1.1.4 hosted on SourceForge is still downloaded around 1000 times per week.〔(Download statistics on Sourceforge.net )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Open Workbench」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
