ABSTRACT

 

 

Software is any set of machine-readable instruction that directs a computer processor to perform specific operations. Microsoft project software (MS Project) is one of such software that is a program developed  and sold by Microsoft which is designed to assist a project  manager in developing a plan, assigning resources to task tracking work progress, managing the budget ,analyzing work load schedule, upgrade information and communication status in building  project construction. Although this software use in our country Nigeria is still little but for those firms project Team/manager who uses it have seen it important to the project (building project).  Microsoft project offers easy productivity in building project construction like WBS, outline tasks assign resources/cost, tracking and reporting, collaborating information with project managers if any. Every about scheduling and management of building project are in place in this software and it allows one to choose from different alternative view point (Garth chart, Bar chart, pert and network diagram etc) it also help users “project team” to reselect, remove, correct and upgrade current or future information if any. Most managers or users are ignorant of what ms project does, it will be difficult for them to know its functions and understand them. Due to the fact our country Nigeria lags behind in meeting up with the standard of the world globalization system technology. This thesis studies the utility of two project management softwares in corresponding cases (JIRA and Microsoft Project 2013). Meanwhile, a list of criteria will be defined, for measuring the software, from available studies. Deductive research approach is applied to answer the research questions. For data collection, available books and articles were studied to generate the summary for the literature review, while semi-structured interview was used to examine participants’ experiences. Then, answers from participants’ experiences were compiled and compared to the summarized literature review. The result displayed how project management softwares were utilized in each case, and how relevant the software was to the generated criteria. These criteria can be considered as guidelines for the selection process of project management software. On the other hand, the result posed its limitations. Thus, the authors recommend more research to be done for the completion of this matter.
