This document introduces an agile approach to project management for web projects. It discusses various project management methodologies like RUP, Agile, Lean, and Kanban. It emphasizes that the best practice does not exist and an iterative approach is needed to find what works best for each project. It also discusses that being agile means focusing on individuals, collaboration, working software, and adapting to change over processes, contracts, documentation and plans. Finally, it discusses various project management tools and emphasizes starting simply and enhancing tools based on project needs rather than over-relying on specific tools.

57. And to fulfill these needs there are also a lot of different tools .

58. Part 4: Where tools are introduced.

59. On internet you can find lot of PM verticalized tools.

60. BaseCamp .

61. Easy, with a lot of features to communicate , nothing to do the real work .

62. SourceForge .

63. Many tools to manage a community , nothing to manage a budget.

64. Assembla .

65. Some “ agile nuts and bolts ” but only for SaaS.

66. Microsoft Project.

67. Gantt and resources management but nothing to open an issue with a customer.

68. Choosing the wrong tool should create problems to the team.

69. Tools have to help any kind of actor to do its jobs with the less effort.

70. ie. SVN integrated with a Bug Tracker to close automatically issues.

71. ie. Online documents revision tool to help web writers.

72. Start your project with easiest (and unobstrusive) tool and then enhance it if needed .

73. The best tools are you and your team .
