This is managing the resources needed to ensure that a project is finished on time and within budget and to the satisfaction of the end user.

Project management is typically carried out either by a private consultant or an employee of the project client. From : www.ecbp.org/glossary.htm
faces
faces is a powerful and free project management tool. faces stands for flexible, automated, calculating, extendible, simulating. It is based on python, an easy to learn and powerful programming language.
faces was designed according to an old principle:
Simple things should be be easy and complicated things should
be possible. Therefore you may be content
with the standard reports of faces and never to do
some programming or you can add a new resource balancing
algorithm and design your personal diagram. In fact here a

- If you need a fast chart for a presentation at your boss/client,
faces is your tool:
Its extraordinary editing
features let you create a project very fast and you can choose
between many different charts.
If you want to precalculate a project, faces is your tool:
Calculate your project in different scenarios (e.g. best-, real- and worst case) and
insert controlling tasks for meetings and administrational work: Their calculated effort
and cost will change when the project gets longer or shorter. Classify the efficiency
of your team members: A task will need less time, when it is done by a senior than by a junior.
And finally adjust the real working time within your project: You have a forty hour week, but
your team members will not work all that time on your project.
If you want to simulate risk conditions, faces is your tool:
Beside the multiple scenario planning, you can create alternative plans with additional
tasks and simulate different risk conditions and their effect on your delivery date and cost.
If you have a company wide project management standard,
faces is your tool:
Build your own company wide report and chart library and extend faces in any
way you like. One of the main design goals of faces, is to be easily extendible to
custom needs. Create your company specify faces version and make your project
management more efficient.
If you want to schedule multiple projects with a common resource base
(sometimes also called enterprise resource management), faces is your tool:
Put all resource in one file and import it in your projects. In faces you can
split a big project into several sub project or combine multiple projects to one big
project and schedule all your project together.
If several people should work on your project plan, faces is your tool:
Project plans are plain text files, you can use any version control system
like subversion or csv, and merge multiple changes of different people.
If you want to track your project, faces is your tool:
You can collect actual working data and faces tells you the difference
to the original planning and how it will change your planning in the future.
Of course faces can also track your actual costs.
If you want to use agile development techniques, faces is your tool:
Store any textual data to your task, e.g. like story card and use the SMART balancing
algorithm to schedule your pair programming teams.
If you want to have an always up to date project workbook,
faces is your tool:
Use the Cheetah template engine to generate
LaTeX output, or DocBook or any
other text format you like, with included graphical charts.
