Project management software is necessary in the process of project management. It is good for some large companies to choose more popular or more practical project management software. But many small companies, project management expensive can not afford, can only use minority, but minority multifarious, dazzling, project management software how to choose? Let's introduce it in detail. Project management software is divided into two types, one is a relatively complete product, including project management, including task breakdown costs, budget aspects, but these products are too expensive. The other is lighter products, which pay more attention to the relationship between tasks, the completion of tasks and the way of tracking. According to your personal needs, mainly consider the following factors: 1. Capacity factor this is mainly about whether the system can handle the number of projects you expect to carry out, the number of resources you expect to need, and the number of projects you are expected to manage at the same time. 2. Documentation and online help functional factors the quality of documentation and online help function of each project management software package is different, and there is a big difference. Mainly consider the readability of the user manual, the logical expression of the concepts in the user manual, the detail level of the manual and online help, and give examples of the quantity, quality, and level of explanation of advanced performance.

3. The ease of operation factor is usually important no matter which software package you choose. We should mainly consider the "see" and "feel" effect of the system, the menu structure, the available shortcut keys, the color display, the information capacity of each display, the simplicity of data input, the ease of data modification, the simplicity of report drawing, the quality of printout, the consistency of screen display, and the difficulty of being familiar with system operation. 4. The functional factors needed must consider whether the system has all kinds of functions needed by the project organization. For example, does the program include job analysis structures, Gantt charts and network diagrams, and how about resource balancing or balancing algorithms? Can the system sort and filter information, monitor budgets, generate customized calendars, and assist in tracking and control? Can it detect misallocation of resources and help solve the problem? 5. compatibility with other systems in today's digital society, a large number of electronic systems are becoming more and more unified. If your work environment, appropriate data is stored in various places, such as databases, spreadsheets, you should pay special attention to the compatibility and uniformity of project management software. Some systems can only be basically unified with a few common software packages, while others can be integrated with distributed databases or even object-oriented databases. 6. installation requirements here mainly consider the requirements of computer hardware and software for running project management software: memory, hard disk space capacity, processing speed and capability, graphic display type, print setting, operating system and so on. 7. Report function factors the main difference of various project management software systems at present is the type and quantity of reports they provide. Some systems have only basic plans, schedule plans and cost reports, while others have a wide range of settings that provide reports on tasks, resources, actual costs, commitments, work processes, and other elements. In addition, some systems are easier to customize. Report function should be highly valued, because most users attach great importance to the function of software, which can generate extensive and persuasive reports.

Safety performance factors some project management software has relatively better security. If security issues are important, special attention should be paid to restricted access to project management software, each project file, and each file data.

In the process of practical application, we should choose the software that suits us according to the content we actually need. However, the project management process is complex, and the project itself is not easy to do. After collecting all the information about the project and integrating the new team, you can find some project management tools to help you better manage your project. choosing the right project management software may be as difficult as managing the project.

Reasonable and effective use of project management tools can not only enable our work to be carried out in an orderly manner, but also maximize the achievement of project objectives. I recommend CORNERSTONE, which provides functional modules including task / requirements / test management, iteration planning, defect tracking, report statistics, teamwork, WIKI, shared files and calendars, and is now available for free for teams with less than 20 people.
