With so many project management tools to choose from, how can you decide which are best-suited for your needs? To help you start to sort through the options we highlight 12 PM tools that are worth your consideration.

I eventually moved on to a DOS version of Microsoft Project and then on to the windows version of that which I have used off and on for many years.
