Project Management Software: An introduction
If you’re new to project management software, the subject might confuse you at first. Project management software uses new terms and it makes many behind-the-scenes calculations.
To understand project management software and use the software to effectively manage projects, you need to strip away the clutter, learn the language, and review the logic. This project management software web site helps you accomplish the objective of preparing to manage work using project management software by asking and answering three questions:
1. What are the sorts of projects one manages with project management software?
2. What kinds of project management does project management software do?
3. How does project management software work?
When you finish reviewing this project management software web site, you should be able to determine whether you really want to use project management software for a particular project and, if so, how you get started using project management software.
One other introductory comment is in order. You may have seen or read some of this project management software information before. This web site's information comes (mostly) from four books I wrote about project management software: Using Harvard Project Management Software, Using Timeline Project Management Software, Effective Executive's Guide to Project 2000, and Project Management Software 2002: Effective Project Management in Eight Steps.
