Abstract
This article reviews the techniques of project management, including Gantt charts, the program evaluation and review technique (PERT), and the critical path method (CPM), as well as several project management software packages — MacProject II, Time Line, and ViewPoint. Project management software makes the rudiments of project management easy to achieve. It forces the user to plan and schedule the project. It produces useful charts and tables that help in managing the project and are extremely useful mechanisms for communicating with project team members, clients, and the public. The software greatly simplifies the effort necessary to evaluate alternative resource allocations and schedule changes.Keywords
