Period. Project management is about collaboration, that's wny you simply can't do without tools like <a href="http://www.wrike.com" rel="nofollow">Wrike</a> or Basecamp. You only need to choose what type of project management is for you: lite with no Gantts and due dates, or with timelines, reports, dependencies and other real project management features.

We have found Excel to be just the light-weight tool when activities in a project are quite linear with not very complicated precedence/concurrency relationships. And there are other situations where you could actually be switching from one to the other depending on the phase of the project! I plan to write about our experiences on the same question in my blog (tskraghu.wordpress.com) sometime soon.
