Evaluate three project management software tools. While you are free to review
software from any source you wish, you might want to conduct a web search to identify software options. Try
starting with search terms such as “project management software” or “project management tools.”
As you are searching for project management tools, you may find tools under different category names. For

scheduling, project portfolio management, resource management, document management (e.g., word processing,
spreadsheets, presentations, etc.), web-based versus desktop-based, or open source versus proprietary.
Use the Software Review Template to complete this assignment.
Please address as many items listed in the worksheet as you can. Some of these items may be less applicable

evaluation form. But in all cases, strive to provide a comprehensive report.
