Framtagning av verktyg för projektstyrning
There are several Project Management Softwares onthe market today. These tools are powerful andextensive to the degree they become too timeconsumingand complex and therefore often defeatits original purpose. This is the case especiallywhen the project manager is inexperienced and/orthe scope of the project is moderate.The purpose of this thesis arose from this context,there seems to be a gap between a home-made MSExcel spread sheet and the advanced softwaresavailable. The thesis and the product has beendeveloped in alliance with Faveo ProjectManagement with the shared goal to create a toolwhich is easy to use but still covers the essentialareas of project management theory. The tool willbe used internally by Faveo-employees as well asexternally together with Faveo?s clients in aneducational purpose. The product is based onFaveo?s project management model, inspired byProject Management Institute (PMI).The product has been developed through extensivestudies of literature, one survey sent to activeproject managers and interviews with peopleinvolved in project management from Faveo andacademic researchers. The tool has been developedin MS Excel Visual Basics for Applications (VBA) andis based on spread sheets representing tools fromthe different fields of knowledge in projectmanagement. The tool is designed to give anintegrated understanding of the complexity ofproject management.The result is Faveo Project Management Tool, whichwill be available August 1st, 2011 at the Faveo website.
