Project Management Tools

Project Management Tools help managers and project team members successfully plan, manage and execute the many and varied tasks involved in a project.

The tools do not have to be very sophisticated to be effective.

Normally, they include templates, check-lists and planning software such as Trac.

Given the wide range of PM Tools available, it is important to find the tool or tools that best fits the specific organization's needs.

Maven	Apache Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a project's build, reporting and documentation from a central piece of information. Maven, a Yiddish word meaning accumulator of knowledge, was originally started as an attempt to simplify the build processes in the Jakarta Turbine project. There were several projects each with their own Ant build files that were all slightly different and JARs were checked into CVS. We wanted a standard way to build the projects, a clear definition of what the project consisted of, an easy way to publish project information and a way to share JARs across several projects. The result is a tool that can now be used for building and managing any Java-based project. We hope that we have created something that will make the day-to-day work of Java developers easier and generally help with the comprehension of any Java-based project. Project Management Tools
