Abstract

The task of managing a software project can be an extremely complex one, drawing on many personal, team, and organizational resources. The quality of a software product is dependent on the process in which the project is completed. Time delays in software development project and low productivity tend to fall right to the bottom line. Recently, the evolution of project management tools for both software and non-software applications has been accelerating at a rapid pace, and the number of available products have grown significantly. There are many project management tools and software being developed everyday to help managers to automate the administration of individual projects or groups of projects during their life-cycle. This article presents a short comparison of popular software project management tools.
