Project management and scheduling software packages can be grouped under two broad headings -heavyweight and low-end. Heavyweight packages, costing upwards of pound;3000, provide features such as resource monitoring and progress tracking, but operators need to be trained to use them. Low-end products, on the other hand, focus on ease of use and report presentation, and allow project managers close involvement in the process, which should lead to greater ownership of plans. This type of software usually has a starting price of pound;800.
