Project Software Options

There are many project management software applications that are designed to help develop project plans and schedules as well as keeping track of these plans and creating reports. Ten years ago, the de facto standard was Microsoft Project Professional. This product is still the most widely used and accepted within the profession. That being said, there are many competing applications that are available today that provide much, if not all of the same functionality. Some of these tools are more appropriate to be used with smaller project teams or to be used in conjunction with other project communication tools with distributed teams.

For this assignment you will need to select a project management application that can be used to create Gantt charts and other reports. Some of the available options are listed below. Please take your time and consider the advantages and disadvantages of each of these choices. Free trials or free versions are available for all of these options, but you must ensure that the free trial will allow you to complete all of the work for the class and that this application is compatible with your computer.
