Abstract

In dynamic and competitive environments, firms have several challenges to resolve in order to improve performance. However, it’s difficult to manage multiple projects with multiple local or remote teammates. For this reasons, projects manager should use a tool that helps them to manage, discuss, communicate, monitor and work with team members in order to increase significantly the effectiveness of the project. Our research presents a vision of project management combining managerial and computing points of view. We present the different empirical solutions managing projects. Finally, we proposed a solution to enterprises via an online project manager developed on PHP7 focusing on three main axes: Planning, Organisation, and Control. The use of free tools minimizes the costs of integration and deployment of the proposed software. This solution allows the company to find the right balance between a good organization of the project, cost and delays.
