1. Feature Set
– Companies have different views what a project management software
should include, so read carefully before you choose. Do not get on the
marketing tricks like “Our time tracking tool is the best project
management tool”, keep your eyes open, a good project management
software needs much more then that.
2. Web-based – can be accessed from anywhere, anytime, multi-user.
3. Support
– everybody claims that their support is superior, but is it? First
thing I’d do, I’d email support with some simple questions and
suggestions maybe, and see how quick and how good the respond is.
4. Collaboration
– first of all this means working with other team members on a task to
reach a defined goal. In other words it’s just day to day
communication, and you’ll want this to be as effective as possible –
emails, blogs, video conferencing, intranets, extranets etc.
5. Integration
- an integrated system combines project management or project planning,
with many other aspects of company life. Can the system be integrated
with a third party tools? Make sure it does.

Of course there can be said much more on this topic, but i think
these are the key things to consider when choosing a project management
software. Choose wisely! )
