Abstract:

This article describes the process of designing and developing an information management system for projects, the main purpose of which is to manage investment projects throughout their life cycle. The system supports the entire process of applying for incentive programs, the necessary documentation and procedures, and also helps to manage the project itself when it is approved. Globalization, diversification of business and a growing number of different business projects require professional information support for specialists involved in solving tasks related to project management. Timely and accurate information about the project´s plans, their development and associated costs are extremely important for project managers and, therefore, for the project success. In this context, the project management information system is usually seen as an important tool for project management. However, such information systems are expensive and therefore inaccessible to many small and medium-sized enterprises, which often prefer not to use them. To overcome this barrier, many consulting companies decide to invest in the development of their own project management information system.
