On the Compatibility of Contemporary Project Management Tools with Software Project Management
نویسنده
چکیده
Since around 1900, when Henry L. Gantt, a management scientist, developed a system of bar charts to graphically represent work on a time scale, project management tools have been used by project managers to assist with planning, scheduling, forecasting and controlling. In order to derive the most benefit from using a project management tool, it is necessary to define how a tool’s application is adequate to the project’s needs, its specific character and objective(s). For this reason, a study of compatibility of contemporary project management (scheduling) tools with software project management is conducted in order to find appropriate tools that are suitable for management of a project where human resources are a critical variable. In this paper we discuss a sample of project management scheduling tools that are found to be very useful in practice.
