Hi Greg, if anyone has a close-to-ideal solution I would be happy to learn about it.
I have tried several web-based project management systems for a larger project but found them to be either inflexible, complex/time-consuming to learn (for busy PIs), expensive, or conflicting with various institutional data security policies and restrictions. In the end, the compromise was to use a combination of google services (calendar, tables, drive). For planning and for some time after the start of the project I used a professional project management software in parallel (Merlin from ProjectWizards) but the need to keep two systems up-to-date was just too time consuming.
