Contentum Projects+ is a tool, designed to execute projects, control available resources (time, financial, human resources) and establish communication between project team members.

Projects are not typical tasks; they require cooperation of different departments and consist of a sequence of stages. These stages can include a lot of small tasks. The tasks are executed by tens, hundreds and thousands of company’s employees.

When you carry out a project, these three components are most important:

• Quality of the end product;
• Due dates for all the activities;
• Project budget, which is always limited

When you manage a project you set and achieve specific goals and to do so, you balance the amount of work, resources (such as money, labor, supplies, energy, space, etc.), time, quality and risks.

Generally, project management includes:

• Setting project requirements;
• Setting a specific, achievable goal;
• Balancing contradictory requirements on quality, contents, time and costs;
• Adjusting characteristics, plans and approaches to personal opinions and expectations of project team members;
• Monitoring the project progress according to the plan. Adjusting the project progress taking into account possible deviations.
