Using Microsoft Project for project management in non-governmental organisations

With the implementation and realization of the projects financed from European Union funds, project management in non governmental organisations (NGOs) becomes a more complex and demanding process. Managing projects according to European Union standards is a challenge and such projects require new control concepts of project management. Project management is the continuous process of planning, organizing, managing and monitoring all aspects of the project in order to achieve the project objectives in accordance with the planned time, cost and quality. The successful realization of the project depends on the project management, which requires a complex use of different knowledge areas, skills and methods. This age of constant development of science and technology opens up new possibilities and therefore there are many software packages that are used for project management support. This thesis will describe the realization of project management using Microsoft Project (MS Project) program, a specialized program for project management. Based on the results of the implementation it can be concluded that MS Project enables high-quality and successful project management.
