			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s start talking software tools. Probably, if you work in a big company or an projectized one you will have an enterprise solution like Microsoft Project, Primavera, or Clarity. However there is a lot of small / medium and even big companies without any software tool.</p>
<p>This is the first of a set of posts when I will present how I start my projects when no software support is available. Of course I suppose you will have little help of the IT department to get at least some free/usable servers for your purposes. This one will present a small but useful list of tools and their <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software_license" target="_blank">licenses</a>.</p>
<p>You will find a lot of tools that could make easier your life, but obviously, the success of any software tool is based on the use we gave it. Below you will find a list of project management software tools that I recommend for small/medium projects, all of them are free or open source projects</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="openproj" href="http://openproj.org/openproj" target="_blank">OpenProj</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://projity.com/license/index.html" target="_blank">CPAL</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a title="GanttProject" href="http://ganttproject.biz/" target="_blank">GanttProject</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://ganttproject.biz/license.php" target="_blank">GPL (almost all)</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a title="open workbench" href="http://www.openworkbench.org/" target="_blank">Open Workbench</a>
<ul>
<li>MPL/Proprietary</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a title="clockingit" href="http://www.clockingit.com/" target="_blank">Clockingit</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.html" target="_blank">MIT/X11</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a title="b-kin" href="http://www.b-kin.com/es/software-de-gestion-de-proyectos/b-kin%20project%20monitor/" target="_blank">B-kin Project Monitor</a>
<ul>
<li>Spanish version only</li>
<li><a href="http://www.b-kin.com/es/Clients/ShowPageClear.aspx?PostId=22199" target="_blank">Propietary</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a title="http://www.dotproject.net/" href="http://www.dotproject.net/" target="_blank">Dotproject</a>
<ul>
<li>GPL</li>
<li><a href="http://docs.dotproject.net/index.php/Main_Page" target="_blank">Documentation site</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>I think is good enough for now, I don&#8217;t want to make expectations about those projects, all of them have their pros/cons. If you have comments, feel free to submit them. The whole idea is to build a knowledge base for those who are starting to use a software tool or are evaluating its use.</p>
