Project Management defines the task of planning, monitoring and controlling the progress of a project. Projects today consist of a highly complicated mix of activities and disciplines. In order for a project manager to successfully manage a project of this nature, and make sure that the project is being worked on in the most efficient manner, it is essential that he use one of the many computer software packages especially designed for this purpose.
This paper discusses manual methods of project management, including the critical path method, Gantt charts and PERT charts. The benefits of using these methods are examined, along with the shortcomings of each technique. The critical path method offers the project manager a clear indication of the crucial elements of a project, Gantt charts graphically express the time relationships between each activity, and the PERT chart is a simple graphical method which indicates activity relationships. When used independently, these project management tools are helpful, but do not give the project manager a complete picture of the status of his project.
This paper also illustrates some of the features of computer management techniques such as automatically calculated critical path, resource leveling, PERT charts and bar charts. A detailed explanation of the advantages compared to manual methods follow. The advantages include the abilities to: manage large projects on a very detailed level, efficiently use available resources and collect historical data on project or use for future estimates.
A method to successfully implement computer management techniques in the workplace is also included. This method includes classroom and hands-on instruction followed by periodic one on one sessions with an expert on the system.
The solution to some of the complicated problems facing today's Project Managers can be found with the help of computer software. This powerful tool can save time and money and help assure a project which is on time and within budget.
