The Role of Information Technology Tools in Project Planning and Monitoring
Abstract
Effective project planning and monitoring are key factors determining the successful achievement of project objectives in modern organizations. Along with the development of information technologies, the importance of information technology tools supporting project managers in scheduling activities, allocating resources, controlling costs and reporting project progress has significantly increased. The aim of this article is to analyze the role of information technology tools in project planning and monitoring processes and to identify the areas in which information technologies contribute most strongly to improving project management effectiveness. The study is based on a review of the relevant literature and a descriptive-analytical approach, enabling a structured presentation of the functions and applications of selected information technology tools used in project management. Particular attention is given to digital tools supporting key project management processes, particularly in the areas of planning, resource coordination, cost control, risk management and performance monitoring. The article also addresses the challenges and limitations associated with the use of information technology tools in project practice, emphasising the importance of user competencies for their effective implementation. The conclusions presented may provide a basis for further research as well as practical implications for project management practice.
