Microsoft Project is probably the most popular app, but if you aren't tied to MS and want a free package to play with this <http://developer.imendio.com/wiki/Planner> is a Linux planning tool. There's much more to project management than knowing the software, however, and it's almost true to say that managing a software project is completely different to running any other kind of project (read 'The Mythical Man Month' although with open source development techniques the 'rule' the book describes may no longer be always true). I've collected a few fairly random links over the years, most of which will probably be dead but you're welcome to them: http://www.phpcollab.com www.alexking.org http://java.foundries.sourceforge.net/article.pl?sid=03/05/11/1023228 http://www.journyx.com/ http://www.dotproject.net/index.php In the UK at least, I was reading recently about the different project management qualifications but I can't quite find the article right now, if I do I'll come back to you.
