Project Management Tools

Paper Summary:

The term, "project manager," has become somewhat synonymous with Microsoft's version of the tool. However, a simple search of the words, "project manager," on the Internet reveals that there are thousands other generic versions of the tool, each with its own strengths and benefits. This paper shows that careful consideration should be given to the choice of a product and whether the tool is needed at all. The paper looks at the software available.

From the Paper:

"With this tool, you can track resources, compare predicted completion dates with the original schedule, target dates, costs, and budgets. Scheduling can be altered around resource needs, and resources moved to where they are most needed. Future resource needs can be predicted so that you can always keep ahead of the game and hopefully never run short so that your project does not come to a grinding halt. Finally, the software can use the Web publishing wizard to post project information on a web site on the Internet or company intranet. In the end, Primavera's software combines top of the line features with the ease of use of MS Project to give users the best of all possible worlds. Its price is also reasonable."
