Abstract

Project management is an important management process and finds application in different industries. Not every organization has the same project management guidelines or possesses project management knowledge. We propose that today's market structure and technological development open possibility for offering project management as a service in different forms. Companies specialized in project management may manage a project for the benefits of other party, using client's technical knowledge and principles of work. Companies that want to manage their projects internally need project management training service and software solution with certain functionalities and characteristics. The solution must follow the company policies in regard to resources, time and cost management, collaboration etc. Due to companies' specifics, it is highly unlikely that an off-the-shelf solution is applicable in every organization. The service of customization of an existing tool or development of a system specifically for the company needs can be also considered a project management service.
