Project Management Software Tools

Welcome to my project management software directory. I am hoping to provide a comprehensive directory of project management software for the Microsoft Windows platforms. By project management, I mean to include tools that assist in planning, scheduling, tracking and analyzing a project. I'm not trying to list every piece of software that is project management related (timesheet management, document management, project collaboration, etc.).

A comprehensive directory for web-based project management software already exists. I do not feel the need to duplicate it. If you know of any Windows based project management software that is missing from this list, please send me an e-mail.

Please do not e-mail me requesting advice on selecting a system for your needs. You might try searching the reviews section of the Project Management Knowledge Base for guidance.
