The Project Management (PM) discipline is evolving towards the adoption of digital technologies, which are to be integrated into a project management information system (PMIS). Despite the fact that many PMIS solutions are already available, there is no standard data model for PMIS development, nor is the logic underlying PMIS. Therefore, organizations struggle to integrate other business applications into the PMIS and cannot leverage the data collected to improve both project management and execution. To address these issues, this paper aims to provide a standard PMIS model as a foundation for database design and software development. The PM objects are first identified and then represented in a data model that outlines their attributes and methods and the relationships between the classes. All classes are structured to accommodate in their interface the core PM processes, such as task and resource management, project scheduling, risk management, and progress control.

Abstract

The Project Management (PM) discipline is evolving towards the adoption of digital technologies, which are to be integrated into a project management information system (PMIS). Despite the fact that many PMIS solutions are already available, there is no standard data model for PMIS development, nor is the logic underlying PMIS. Therefore, organizations struggle to integrate other business applications into the PMIS and cannot leverage the data collected to improve both project management and execution. To address these issues, this paper aims to provide a standard PMIS model as a foundation for database design and software development. The PM objects are first identified and then represented in a data model that outlines their attributes and methods and the relationships between the classes. All classes are structured to accommodate in their interface the core PM processes, such as task and resource management, project scheduling, risk management, and progress control. The study evaluates the impact and benefits of implementing this standard model while acknowledging its limitations and providing recommendations for practical implementation.
