Abstract

The natural development of information technology area stimulates intense growth of various technologies which support basic organization processes. The range of technologies implies appropriate management thereof, as well as accurate correspondence with conducted activities. Abandonment of activities within individual branches in favour of project approach to performed assignments (especially those connected with software development) has recently become a popular subject of management. This approach involves a variety of technologies which support project tasks. Yet the question arises, how to harmonize proper technologies with project management in an effective way. Agent system that is built by authors is a kind of solution to this problem. That system is a kind of tool which serves to help project managers with the choice of a proper method and technology of project management. One of most important decision taken before project start is method and tools selection. When method is not fitted to project team it can provide to project's failure. Also many times client's knowledge about IT project area can be important for getting success.
