Secondary abstract: |
Project management is a discipline that offers a systematic approach to the projects and includes the processes of planning, organizing and controlling of projects. Nowadays, just as any other activity, efficient project management can not be carried out without adequate computer support. Easyplan is one of the new software tools for project management that was recently developed at University of Waterloo, Canada. The main goals of the thesis is therefore to investigate the applicability of this web-based freeware. The first part of the thesis discusses the basic elements of project management. In the second part, the main charateristics of Easyplan are presented. The software can be used in planning and follow-up of construction projects. In addition, several other features, such as construction site layout design, competitor bid analysis, markup estimation and project delay analysis are available. The applicability of the software was investigated by conducting a case study analysis of a residential constuction project. The use and results of the program are compared to the MS Project. The main features and differences between the two software tools are identified and discussed. Based on the work performed, it can be concluded that Easyplan can serve as an excellent educational tool for students who are not yet familiar with the project management techniques. Due to its additional features, it can be recommended to be used in basic construction project management courses. Size limitations, however, make it unsuitable for large construction projects and professional use. |
