Question: Can anyone help with a project management software? I need a software that can help me manage the project undertaken by members of my team. It should be based on different ogin profiles so that users can login and view the extent to which team members have gone in their various assignments.

Answer: The most widely available and used PM tool is MS Project.  The desktop version of the product will run around $600.  It doesn't really have different logon profiles, but you can create different Views to slice/dice the project data differently.\n\nIf you really need different profiles you could step up to MS Project Server, but this is a big step in terms of complexity and cost.\n\nBefore you invest in a tool, you might want to get your team some project management theory training, otherwise they're not going to really understand what to do with tool, even if they get some tool training.  (Just like getting training in MS Word isn't really going to improve your report writing capabilities - you'd need to take a report writing class as well.)
