Abstract:

Project management software encompasses a variety of platforms created to assist individuals in project management. These products vary from basic organizational apps like checklists or calendars for short projects to comprehensive applications that give a complete view of the project lifecycle and include advanced functions like automation and resource scheduling. In this thesis, we studied the implementation of the Concerto software by knowing what the advantages were, determining the disadvantages or problems, and suggesting some solutions. From this software, we take two projects to accomplish the implementation task: 29T3_Bratislava and Tram RNV (Rhein-Neckar-Verkehr). The data is collected from the factory based on interviews. This was done by conducting an interview with three employees in the company from the planning specialist and project management departments. The interviewers will answer the following question: What are the advantages and disadvantages of the given projects? The main disadvantages of these projects are: individuals’ updates Accuracy, Communication Issue, Not Suitable with MS Project, Up-to-Date Issue, Slow Down, PERT Diagram Issue, Update Issue, and Data Unused. We suggest some solutions for each problem as follows: implement access restrictions, use another software, perform risk assessments, verify for updates, check compatibility, minimize http requests, optimize code, use Gantt charts, schedule data, load balance, establish precise expectations, appoint communication liaisons, and ensure that unused data is not replicated but must be on demand.
