2. Introduction
 Project Management Information system (PMIS) is
used to plan and execute the project
goals/deliverables. During the planning process,
project managers used PMIS for budget framework
such as estimating cost and allocating
budget/resources.
 The PMIS is also used to create a specific schedule and
define the scope baseline.
 At the time of execution, the PMIS is used to compare
the baseline with the actual accomplishment of each
activity, manage materials, collect financial data, and
keep a record for reporting purposes.

3. PMIS Objectives
 Record and report relevant information and the status of
various activities of the project (in order to have more
attention on critical activities or elements).
 Highlight deviations from the plan (if any), in respect of
every component of the project and also to indicate the
effect of such deviations on the completion of the
project.
 Provide a basis for a evaluation of the performance of
the functions of various managers and departments by
regular comparisons with budgets/plans/schedules.

4. Benefits
 Computer based PMISs are much better at handling
and integrating complex data relationships.
 Large projects with hundreds of
organizations/divisions, thousands of work tasks
and millions of workers cannot be managed
efficiently without computers.
 Web-based project software are especially helpful in
situations where project team members are located
at different sites. Internet and internet networks are
easy to use and learn, and therefore team members
are likely to use them more frequently for status
reporting.

5. INTEGRATED PROJECT MANAGEMENT
INFORMATION SYSTEM
It allows total project information to be structured into
a number of data sets which are integrated by the
software. Some of the relevant datasets for a large
project are:
• Network dataset
• Drawing data set
• Cost dataset
• Material dataset
• Vendor dataset
• Job card dataset
• Rates dataset
• Resources dataset
• History dataset, etc

6.  Integration of these independent datasets through
various processing modules enables high control of
projects. It permits :
 Horizontal integration between disciplines, e.g.,
cost/schedule integration, or, cost estimates, cost
accounts and project schedule integration via Work
Breakdown Structure.
