Ask HN: any hierarchical checklist software?

1 points by tucson 14y ago ↗ HN

I need, for my day job, to be able to track the very same work breakdown for 5 to 10 different projects in parallel. The work breakdown is very structured, hierarchical.

But I cannot find a way to track to do items in a structured/hierarchical way.

Does anybody know a (good) hierarchical checklist software ?

------ Example of what I am looking for (it's really a simple thing, but I cannot find it):

[ ] is a checkbox Using the car work breakdown example here:http://www.expertprogrammanagement.com/2010/03/wbs-work-breakdown-structures-everything-you-need-to-know/

Make a car [ ] -- Make the engine [ ] ---- Make the cylinder [ ] ---- Make the cam shaft [ ] etc.

Notebook from http://www.circusponies.com/ is great. Mac only.

Thank you. Though I have a PC at work :/ I had a quick look at the site, but it did not look like a checlist software, more like a tool to take notes.

... Project?

Probably not the best ever at anything, but it does that and quite a lot of other stuff. You could skip the details you're not interested in ( resources allocation etc) and keep it simple.

Also, it fits great if your day job is a structured environment.

If it's not, or you use Mac (as I do) you can try gantter project, it's a google apps add-on. Great for collaboration.
