Description

Tools to manage projects

In the ultimate context, projects are managed with enterprise level project management tools.  Even better, they are managed with tools enabling team collaboration.

But often, that is not the context of your project.  You then need to find solution using available tools in the context of your project.  You may not have the budget, the time or the authority to buy and implement an advance project management and team collaboration application.

For smaller projects, complex application will likely be an overkill.  You need something adapted to your context.
