Project Management Planing Software

Project management software can be implemented as a Web application, accessed through an intranet or extranet using a web browser.This has all the usual advantages and disadvantages of web applications Can be accessed from any type of computer without installing software Ease of access-control Naturally multi-user Only one software version and installation to maintain.


Project management software is typically slower to respond than desktop applications More limited graphical capability than desktop applications Project information not available when the user (or server) is offline. Some packages do allow the user to "go-offline" A personal project management application is one used at home, typically to manage a lifestyle or home projects.

There is considerable overlap with single user systems, although personal project management software typically involves simpler interfaces. See also non-specialised tools below.A single-user system is programmed with the assumption that only one person will ever need to edit the project plan at once. This may be used in small companies, or ones where only a few people are involved in top-down project planning. Desktop applications generally fall into this category.
