Tool

A tangible aid, such as a template, checklist, or software application, used to perform work and create a deliverable or outcome.

Key Points

  • Tools are physical or digital items that help execute project activities.
  • They are different from techniques (methods) and from inputs or outputs (artifacts).
  • Selection of tools depends on the process, complexity, and organizational standards.
  • Effective tools improve efficiency, accuracy, and consistency of results.
