Project management software is too often designed lacking one key element; a means for managing the processes that lead to a project’s success. Some software developers have come to recognize this problem, resulting in a shift from the development of project management software to what is now considered its own unique entity - project and process management software. The creation of a new sub-category of project management software with a very similar name has inevitably led to some confusion among business professionals. How does one distinguish between project management software and project and process management software? Business - List of business/finance/loan/mortgage resources Computers - List of computer hardware/software/peripheral resources Internet - List of webhosting/webdesign/internet marketing resources Software - List of software resources Web Design - List of web design/development resources Web Hosting - List of web hosting resources Web Promotion - List of search engine optimization/internet marketing resources Web Resources - List of other web resources Recreation - List of travel/hotel/cruise resources Casino - List of online gambling/poker/blackjack/roulette resources Health - List of online pharmacy/hospital/health resources Shopping - List of online shopping/gift resources Miscellaneous - List of all other resources not stated above For most companies, managing projects really means managing the everyday processes that are routine and well-understood within the corporate culture. Successfully following these processes daily often determines the number of sales generated and ensures results are delivered for customers. Bills are paid, paychecks are disbursed and leases are renewed in a unique manner from company to company. The more mature a business, the more standardized, documented and followed business processes become.Unfortunately, the majority of project management software does not enforce core processes or give visibility to a process’s status. These key features ensure all processes will be followed, tracked, improved, and streamlined. The ultimate goal of project management in every organization is cutting costs through increased efficiency. Without the expanded functionality of project and process management software it can not be certain that processes will be properly administered.
