This would provide more up-to-date data to the system which serves the real-time requirement they seek satisfying. Instead of developing a specific app for such tools, one could, however, integrate the tool with an already existing task management tool. Such task management tools are usually much simpler, user-friendly, focused on managing tasks only and many have already usable hand-held device apps built for them. The target of this work is to enrich MS Project by integrating it with Wunderlist, a task management tool owned by Microsoft.

Abstract
Project Portfolio Management has become a key success factor and a necessity for managing many projects in companies at the same time. Therefore, there a lot of successful and well performing tools that allow companies to perform this task efficiently. Since, it is a huge market with a lot of demand, many big software companies such as Microsoft, Project Objects, and CA Technologies already targeted this market and developed their own unique solutions to fulfill this market need. Each tool has its own structure in tackling the issue, but at the end, they seek to provide similar functionalities manifested in managing data, plans, tasks, resources, and deadlines of the different projects. However, the fundamental theories of PPM remain the same regardless of different implementations. One of the key factors of increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of all these projects and the process of PPM in general is having real-time data entered into the system. For this reason to take place, the tool needs to provide high level of usability and accessibility to employees during entering data. PPM tools are quite complex and provide many functionalities and that is why they are mainly accessed by browsers or desktop based applications. In this sense, these tools can benefit from usable apps for hand-held devices, especially for users who enter the bulk of data to the system. This would provide more up-to-date data to the system which serves the real-time requirement they seek satisfying. Instead of developing a specific app for such tools, one could, however, integrate the tool with an already existing task management tool. Such task management tools are usually much simpler, user-friendly, focused on managing tasks only and many have already usable hand-held device apps built for them. The target of this work is to enrich MS Project by integrating it with Wunderlist, a task management tool owned by Microsoft.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
