A project manager is experiencing issues with team members overwriting each other's changes in shared project files, leading to lost work and inconsistencies. The project manager wants to implement a solution that allows the team to collaborate on files while keeping a detailed history of all changes made. Which of the following tools would BEST address this need?
Version control systems are designed to manage changes to documents and files by keeping track of every modification. They enable team members to collaborate efficiently, prevent overwriting, and maintain a history of all revisions. This solution addresses the issues of lost work and inconsistencies. Time-tracking software monitors the amount of time spent on tasks but does not facilitate file collaboration or manage revisions. Defect tracking systems help in logging and managing defects or bugs but do not handle file versioning. Gantt chart software assists in project scheduling and visualization but does not provide features for collaborative file editing or version history.
