G2 Grid® Scoring

Project Management Software Definition

Project management software streamlines project planning, task allocation, and team organization, offering real-time status updates for quick decision-making and project control for any business size or team. Project management software solutions also help managers understand how much time each person or team spends working on various projects to improve efficiency at an organizational level.

Project management software is closely related to task management software but differs in scale and scope. For users and businesses looking to manage a large number of projects with similar characteristics, PPM software will be the most productive.

To qualify for inclusion in the Project Management software category, a product must:

• Create project plans and work breakdown structure (WBS) based on the scope
• Define, manage, and allocate resources based on demand and availability
• Create project budgets and compare them with actual costs and expenses
• Support multiple project management methodologies such as waterfall and agile
• Provide project templates that can be modified or combined to create new projects
• Manage interdependencies between tasks and their impact on deadlines
• Automatically generate a critical path and update it when the project changes
• Allow users to mass update tasks without changing interdependencies
• Include multiple project views such as calendar view or customer (or partner) view
• Monitor project progress, resource utilization, and user productivity
