A project manager cannot execute his/her job without a proper set of tools. These tools do not have to be renowned software or something, but it can pretty well be simple and proven techniques to manage project work.

Having a solid set of project management tools always makes project managers' work pleasurable and productive.

This tools like: Project Plan. Milestone Checklist. Gantt Chart. Project Management Softwares. Project Reviews. Delivery Reviews. Score Cards.

Since it is said it is the Earned Value Management (EVM) in the PMBOK, it should be the same.

Hello Raafat,

A project Manager needs a Swiss army knife in his arsenal & also should be capable to use it with mastery.  

But for the sake of argument a spreadsheet app would fall in the category of your question, because you could do with it multiple tasks like Gannt Chart, CPA, Fishbone, & also schedules as in MS Project to name a few. 

 

 

A tool is efficient until you know how to make use of it.

 

Regards,

 

SAAA.
