“Slowly, more and more project management tools entered the marketplace, giving all project managers, PMO directors, and project team members some options we didn’t have before. Many of these newer tools were created by organizations for their own use to fill a void that was not being handled by the regular players in the marketplace. And, once they felt strong enough about them as a productive tool that could likely satisfy the same voids for other organizations, they began offering them for free, or as open-source solutions or for a very affordable price to other organizations looking for PM solutions.
There are now well over 100 potential project management tool offerings available. These include much more than just project Gantt chart applications. Some are task management focused. Some are strong in risk management. Others focus on document storage and sharing. Some excel as CRM packages. Others are mind-mapping tools. Several are excellent at tracking issues and bugs. Some try to offer at least a little of everything. Most offer a way for us to collaborate with our team and manage our projects better than we did yesterday.” – Brad Egeland, ProjectTimes.com, excerpted from his article titled, “Project Management Related Tools And Services To Consider For 2016 And Beyond” , click here to read it in its entirety and see his listings and descriptions of tools like Redbooth (see below).
