Research three project management software tools, including at least one smartphone or tablet app and one open source tool (exclude Microsoft Project since that is the software tool we are using in this class). Write a summary paper (no more than 3 pages, use MLA style formatting) answering the following questions:

a. What functions does project management software provide that you cannot do easily using other tools such as spreadsheet or database?

b. How do the different tools you reviewed compare with MS Project 2013, based on cost of the tool, key features, and other relevant criteria?
