IT solutions supporting project management processes and the choice of software

Abstract

The article aims to present both the theoretical contents and proposed solutions to practical problems perceived in the support of project management. The process’ approach was recommended as the basis of project management. The classification of instruments due to the implemented functions and structure of information systems, which support project management, was included, in conjunction with the type of projects handled. The maturity of project management information support was analysed. Project management areas that have the highest possibilities of information support were indicated, and a list of advantages of the use of information instruments was drawn up. Both the main criteria of software selection and the basic requirements presently formulated with reference to project management supporting systems were determined.
