Which project management tool should I use? How do I know which is the best one?
In my years of teaching project management and consulting on projects, I found that a common question project managers and their teams ask me relates to what type of software and/or platforms they should use to plan and track a project.

What People Say
“Due to increasingly collaborative interdisciplinary projects, many digital humanists find themselves as “instant” or “accidental” managers. They are leading teams of researchers from a variety of disciplines, research assistants, librarians and others as well as managing financial and other resources. As a result, they are exploring the application of project management to research, teaching, and service activities. Project management is a set of tools that is used to manage projects to a successful conclusion and includes directing and coordinating people and resources in order to attain objectives to satisfy various stakeholders.”
