Computerized
Project Management
Project and Project Management..

Basically, a Project is a set of coordinated and controlled activities with start and
finish dates, undertaken to achieve an objective conforming to specific requirements,
including constraints of time, cost, quality and resources.
And Project Management is the application of processes, methods, knowledge, skill
s and experience to achieve the project objectives.

Building a house
Why need computerized project management?
Projects are complex. They involve numerous activities, all of which must be executed with
in the constraints of time, cost and quality. This requires scientific techniques of project
management.
Computerized project management is a means of easily maintaining project records and
communication in a digital format.
We can access our project from any corner of the world if computerized.
Collaborate with team members in real-time.

Project management software commonly offers communication tools that can assist teams in
discussing issues in real time. The benefit is that each team member can be kept up to date,
quickly dealing with issues as they arise.

When you are using project management software, it makes it a lot easier for you and your
team to be able to collaborate on large projects. This software allows everyone to share
documents, timelines, and status updates, so you know where each team member is at, how
much is done, how much is left to be finished, etc. If anyone has questions, concerns, etc.,
they can easily get the answers they need without having to wait or go to another source.
Document sharing.
For projects that require the use of significant documentation, document sharing tools allow
individuals to edit, update the status of reports and create systems that allow for transparency
and communication.
Your project management software will help you to be able to track the progress of each project
you and your team are working on. Employees are able to provide real-time updates of where
they are in a project, so you know what has been done and what is still left to be done. Having
this type of software cuts out the need for meetings and emails, which are little more than
time-wasters in the first place.
Better communication
Not only will you be able to share and collaborate with your team when you use project
management software, you will also be able to do the same with clients and vendors. Clients
will be able to easily provide you with feedback, make edits, and review the progress of the
projects your company is working on for them once they have access to the files. You simply
have to give them usernames and passwords, and they will be able to access this information
at any time.
Keep Better Schedules

It can often be difficult to stay on a schedule when working on a project, especially if there is
no system in place to show what should be completed and when. This is where this type of
software can be particularly useful. Using a Gantt Chart can help, because it is the ideal tool
for tracking project schedules, planning project activities, and more. Having this information
at their fingertips will ensure that employees are able to get tasks completed and meet
deadlines. They will be able to see at a glance what needs to be done in any given project, and
when, and then they are better able to schedule their time to ensure timely project completion.
Saving time and money
Having all your documents on one database (and hopefully backup frequently) can give you
greater access and control over all your documents relating the project. This means greater
control of the documents whether you are at the office, at home, or have taken a leave of
absence and there is an emergency. This also means time saved in runs between offices, and
clicks between e-mails.
The team members can access the project from their places easily. They do not have to move
any more from one place to another. This also reduces the cost.
Measuring results and comparing projects.
And, when all is said and done, you have to see what has been achieved, and even more
important what has NOT been achieved. Also if you manage some independent projects
and wish to see which one has been better, or simply look back on finished projects and see if
your team is making any progress your software solution will be there to help you.
