Processes for software development and computer tools for project management make a couple that is good to keep together. By one side, a project management tool loses great part of sense and becomes no useful if it doesn't come with a methodology that clearly explains to everyone involved in the project what to do and when, through the project life-cycle. By the other side, a methodology or a process for software development stands in something too fuzzy if it doesn't come with any tool or a group of them that provide a physical environment where the methodology steps can be executed. This paper presents a proposal, a methodology for software project management coming together with a support system based on Microsoft tools, Project Server and SharePoint, attaching importance to methodology and tools integration.
