There is a huge variety of project management applications out there. Most are general purpose apps, not aimed at any one industry. But there is a growing number of project management apps aimed specifically at one industry or another. Applications geared to creative types are becoming more readily available, and some of the offerings are really quite good. Many of these project management apps have built-in code repositories and subversion browsers (or are built around them). A few have built-in bug and issue tracking.
