ABSTRACT
Computers came to the aid of project managers in the late 1960s, since when no respectable project manager has really been able to contemplate planning and controlling a project without one. Most project management software performs time analysis for medium-sized networks in nanoseconds. Programs such as Microsoft Project carry out time analysis continuously and update the results as soon as each new task is entered. The computer can schedule resources and calculate project costs. Unless told otherwise, the computer software will assign each task in the workshop project to the default calendar. Microsoft Project is by far the most popular project management software in terms of sales and the number of users. Microsoft Project 2000 is very user-friendly, especially for all who are familiar with the usual functions of Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office applications. It took only a few minutes to enter the workshop project data and produce the time analysis report shown later for the workshop project.
