A method, computer readable medium and apparatus that manages a software project includes assigning one of one or more virtual hosts in one of one or more workspaces in a development computing device to a remote computing device. The development computing device generates at least one link in the one of the one or more workspaces to at least one of one or more working copies of projects in one of one or more work benches in the one of the one or more virtual hosts. The development computing device generates at least one other link in the one of the one or more workspaces to the linked one of the one or more working copies of projects activated in a running area of the development computing device. The development computing device provides access to the activated one of the one or more working copies of projects to the remote computing device to execute one or more tasks.
