Abstract:

The purpose of project management information systems is to facilitate development and management of projects as well as to provide operational project information. Project management information systems need to be configured according to project management requirements during their deployment. In order to reduce complexity of this task, a baseline configuration can be used as a starting point of the configuration process. The objective of this paper is to establish the baseline configuration of the project management information system. The baseline configuration is developed according a set of typical project management requirements
These requirements are determined by summarizing several project management methodologies and investigations on evaluation of project management information systems. They are divided in 15 groups. A high level description of the baseline configuration of project management information system is defined on the basis of these requirements. It consists of the list of typical project management scenarios and workflows as well as the list of relevant concepts, their default values and business rules. The baseline configuration is compared with configurations used in selected project management information systems. The obtained results further will be used in the configuration process of project management information systems.
