Before discussing points about Android project management tools, you must first understand what a project is. According to Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), project is defined as a temporary endeavor to create a unique product, service or result. Every project has a definite start and end. The end is reached when objectives of the project have been achieved, when the project is terminated because its objectives are rendered unattainable or when the end product or result of the project is no longer needed. Tools are very essential for tracking projects as they form central part of the tracking process. They track what is actually happening on the project so that the actual results can be compared with planned results and corrective measures undertaken to correct the deviations. Android phones come with both paid and free project management software with an aggressively expanding product feature set.
At the heart of every successful project is a well-thought-out plan and execution. For a long time project management systems have fostered collaboration between teams of professionals but in the world today technology have changed the way of project management.
