What sort of project management software should I use for a small team?
I'm currently working on a project with about half a dozen other people. Currently we are using sharepoint to track assignments, issues, the overall timeline, etc... The problem is that sharepoint works but is overkill.
I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any good software for a small team would allow us to assign tasks, track issues, and give a good view of overall progress (my boss likes the gantt chart in sharepoint for this).
Thanks.
edit: Sorry, forgot to add that I don't think an online system is an option right now.

you can download and install local or run in a hosted solution.
On the offchance you're on Mac . . . . Daylite from marketcircle.com is what we use for project management/task tracking/calendaring for a team of 4 people.
I would say my recommendation is "Damned with faint praise" and if there were a plausible alternative I would probably look seriously at it. But there doesn't seem to be anything else for the Mac.
Don't buy Daylite Touch for your iPhones (if you use iPhones). Absolutely positively do not buy their time/billing program -- what a little piece of antimarketing THAT product turned out to be.
No GANTT charts in Daylite, though. Your boss won't be happy.
I too looked at Sharepoint and ran screaming.
He likes the gantt chart, but if there is another good solution then I think he would be fine with it.
Why is that?
Feel free to suggest and I will bring it up next time I meet with him.
