Project management software is designed to help with project planning, scheduling and tracking. It offers features such as Gantt charts, Kanban boards, a live dashboard for time tracking, and collaboration tools that help project managers manage tasks, projects and employees.
Stakeholders in a project are typically divided into secondary and primary stakeholders. Primary stakeholders are the decision-makers who are actively involved in the project and possess considerable influence over the outcomes. Secondary stakeholders might be present at meetings or have an insignificant role in the project but they don’t have much influence.
There are various types of project-management methodologies. Some of the most popular include lean and agile methodologies as well as heuristics, critical chain and project management. The PRINCE2 method is an example of a systematic project management method. It divides the project into seven processes: Directing an entire project, starting up the Project, Creating the project, managing product Boundaries, Controlling the Stage and Managing Product Delivery, and closing a project.
