<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Predecessors">Predecessors</h3></div>

<p>The first historically relevant year for the development of project management software was 1896, marked by the introduction of the Harmonogram. Polish economist <a href="Karol_Adamiecki" title="Karol Adamiecki">Karol Adamiecki</a> attempted to display task development in a floating chart and laid the foundation for project management software as it is today.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1912, <a href="Henry_Gantt" title="Henry Gantt">Henry Gantt</a> replaced the Harmonogram with the more advanced <a href="Gantt_chart" title="Gantt chart">Gantt chart</a>, a scheduling diagram that broke ship design tasks down for the purposes of Hoover Dam in early 1931. Today's Gantt charts are almost the same as their original counterparts and are a part of many project management systems.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Emergence_of_the_term_"project_management"_and_modernized_techniques">Emergence of the term "project management" and modernized techniques</h3></div>

<p>The term <i><a href="Project_management" title="Project management">project management</a></i> was not used prior to 1954 when <a href="United_States_Air_Force" title="United States Air Force">US Air Force</a> General <a href="Bernard_Adolph_Schriever" class="mw-redirect" title="Bernard Adolph Schriever">Bernard Adolph Schriever</a> introduced it for military purposes. In the years to follow, project management gained relevance in the business world — a trend that had a lot to do with the formation of the <a href="AACE_International" title="AACE International">American Association of Engineers</a> AACE (1956), and Rang and DuPont's Critical Path Method, which has been used to calculate project duration ever since 1957.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>The trend is also related to the appearance of the <a href="Program_evaluation_and_review_technique" title="Program evaluation and review technique">Program Evaluation Review Technique</a> (PERT) in 1958. PERT advanced project monitoring, enabling users to simultaneously monitor tasks, evaluate their quality, and estimate the time needed to accomplish each of them. Like <a href="Gantt_chart" title="Gantt chart">Gantt charts</a> and CPM, PERT was invented for military purposes, this time for the US Navy Polaris missile submarine program.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>In 1965, there was a new improvement in project management technology. The <a href="United_States_Department_of_Defense" title="United States Department of Defense">US Department of Defense</a> presented the <a href="Work_breakdown_structure" title="Work breakdown structure">work breakdown structure</a> (WBS) to dissolve projects into even smaller visual units, organizing them in a hierarchical tree structure. WBS was an inspiration for <a href="Winston_W._Royce" title="Winston W. Royce">Winston Royce</a>’s Waterfall Method (1970) where management phases are organized in a way that doesn’t allow a new task to begin before the previous ones are completed.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_first_project_management_products_and_associations">The first project management products and associations</h3></div>

<p>In the period between 1965 and 1969, two of the leading project management associations were formed: the International Project Management Association (IPMA) in Europe, and the <a href="Project_Management_Institute" title="Project Management Institute">Project Management Institute</a> (PMI) which trains project management professionals and issues certificates. With businesses shifting towards technology-based and paperless methods, the first project management systems started to emerge.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="Oracle_Corporation" title="Oracle Corporation">Oracle</a> and <a href="Artemis_(software)" title="Artemis (software)">Artemis</a> launched their project managers in 1977, while Scitor Corporation did the same in 1979.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Many improvements followed in the upcoming decades. In 1986, <a href="Carnegie_Mellon_University" title="Carnegie Mellon University">Carnegie Mellon University</a>’s <a href="Software_Engineering_Institute" title="Software Engineering Institute">Software Engineering Institute</a> introduced capability maturity software, a five-level project management method for rapidly maturing processes, while in 1988, users were introduced to earned value management which added processes’ scope and cost to the schedule.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The trend continued with <a href="PRINCE2" title="PRINCE2">PRINCE2</a> (1996) which increased the number of processes to seven, because of which developers considered designing products for managing complex projects. In 2001, they adopted the <a href="Agile_management" title="Agile management">Agile project management</a> concept and focused on adaptive planning and flexible response to changes. In 2006, users were already able to trigger <a href="Total_cost_management" title="Total cost management">total cost management</a>, a framework that helps control and reduce costs in project management.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Scheduling">Scheduling</h3></div>

<p>One of the most common project management software tool types is <a href="Schedule_(project_management)" title="Schedule (project management)">scheduling</a> tools. Scheduling tools are used to sequence project activities and assign dates and resources to them. The detail and sophistication of a schedule produced by a scheduling tool can vary considerably with the <a href="Project_management#Approaches_of_project_management" title="Project management">project management methodology</a> used, the <a href="Comparison_of_project_management_software#Features" title="Comparison of project management software">features</a> provided and the scheduling methods supported. Scheduling tools may include support for:<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p><a href="Project_planning" title="Project planning">Project planning</a> software can be expected to provide information to various people or stakeholders, and can be used to measure and justify the level of effort required to complete the project(s). Typical requirements might include:

</p>

<ul><li>Overview information on how long tasks will take to complete.</li>

<li>Early warning of any risks to the project.</li>

<li>Information on workload, for planning holidays.</li>

<li><a href="Evidence_(law)" title="Evidence (law)">Evidence</a>.</li>

<li>Historical information on how projects have progressed, and in particular, how actual and planned performance are related.</li>

<li>Optimum utilization of available resources.</li>

<li>Cost maintenance.</li>

<li>Collaboration with each teammate and customer.</li>

<li>Instant communication with collaborators and customers.</li></ul>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Types">Types</h2></div>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Collaborative">Collaborative</h3></div>

<p>A collaborative system is designed to support multiple users modifying different sections of the plan at once; for example, updating the areas they personally are responsible for such that those estimates get integrated into the overall plan. <a href="Web-based" class="mw-redirect" title="Web-based">Web-based</a> tools, including <a href="Extranet" title="Extranet">extranets</a>, generally fall into this category, but have the limitation that they can only be used when the user has live Internet access. To address this limitation, some software tools using <a href="Client%E2%80%93server_architecture" class="mw-redirect" title="Client–server architecture">client–server architecture</a> provide a <a href="Rich_client" title="Rich client">rich client</a> that runs on users' <a href="Desktop_computer" title="Desktop computer">desktop computer</a> and replicates project and task information to other project team members through a central server when users connect periodically to the network. Some tools allow team members to check out their schedules (and others' as read only) to work on them while not on the network. When reconnecting to the database, all changes are synchronized with the other schedules.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Visual">Visual</h3></div>

<p>A common problem in project management is a difficulty with both viewing and understanding large amounts of fluctuating project data.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> To tackle this, some project management software utilize <a href="Information_visualization" class="mw-redirect" title="Information visualization">information visualization</a>, so that users can more easily find, analyze and make changes to their data. To avoid <a href="Information_overload" title="Information overload">information overload</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> the visualization mantra of “overview first, zoom and filter, then details on demand” is often followed.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
