Microsoft Project is the project management tool Audrey "grew up with" when she was managing software development teams in production mode. Invaluable features include the ability to shift the view between project and task levels with a single click, and the Gantt chart views to track shifting dependencies to fit immovable deadlines. You can choose between Microsoft Project Standard and Microsoft Project Professional.
GanttProject performs many of the most popular project management functions from Microsoft Project, but it is free. Not only can you create Gantt and PERT charts, but you can import MS Project files in order to easily convert to this tool.
Mindjet's MindManager is mindmapping software that's perfect for spatial thinkers who feel limited by linear and list-based project management tools. Draft free-form diagrams that reflect your own creative process.

Time is a great PC-based time tracking tool for the multi-tasking
business owner. It's inexpensive and very easy to use because you
simply "punch in" and "punch out" of your projects to track hours at any level of detail you wish. You can
also use it to learn how many hours you are spending on nonbillable
activities for better time management.
