Web base project management system for development of ICT project outsourced by Iranian government

With the unprecedented growing of outsourcing ICT projects by the Iranian government, there is a critical need for proper execution and monitoring of these projects. It is proposed that a web-based project management system be put in place to improve efficiency and effectiveness of management processes and speed up decision making. Based on the information flow between various units involved in the complete life-cycle of ICT project management, a functional model and system architecture with various underlying structures has been designed. The functional model contains two sub-systems: process management and information service. The proposed system structure is based on a four-layer client-server computing model. As a part of any publically available ICT system through the Internet, it has to be made secure and protected against all sorts of cybercrime. It is envisaged that this system can bring efficiency in managing the projects as well as improve decision making and increase the overall management process with total accounting and management transparency.
