Abstract

Research Project Management Process, implies the allocation of important human and financial resources to guarantee fulfilling of the goal by respecting the pre-defined schedule, under the conditions of expected quality. Considering that, informatics is looking for solutions to support the teams to develop complex projects. In this paper we propose a new software for project management, along with a new approach but at the same time complying to the requests formulated by the TenStep methodology. This application software, manages schedule, changes, quality control, risk and budget for the projects. Research Project Management - RPM software is our proposal for a complete integration of all project management processes in a unique application that offers procedures to coordinate people and activities in a project. It will help during the phase of design and supervise of a project, as well as changing the initial configuration when the project doesn’t develop as planned.
