Project tools

Below are some useful tools, well I say useful but that is maybe just my personal choice. The we all face as project managers is that we must make decisions on the best tools for a GROUP of people not just ourselves. Embedding tools in a community of practice is an art and something we are very interested in at Oxford (Howard Noble).
