Abtract Project management ytem which we have propoed i a network baed Enterprie Project Management (EPM) ytem, it can be configured and cutomized for the organization, unlike a web-baed application which would have to have a generalized cheme with minimum cutomization. Being a network application we will till be able to ue the network baed oftware technologie which are ued in web baed application and which help make web application fater and better like XML, AJAX, JavaScript, etc. While uing J2EE to make the connected component communicate fater (repone time i reduced), make the ytem calable allowing multiple imultaneou acce. It involve feature uch a requirement analyi, allocation of the reource, project deigning and it planning followed by cheduling and alo reponible for managing the cot and the ytem adminitration which can handle complex project. The ytem wa implemented on an enterprie cale where many uer imultaneouly acce the ytem and alo inert and retrieve information; ecurity i alo provided o that miue doe not occur. Enterprie Project Management (EPM) i reponible for developing an organization that procee the integral management and adapting to the change of a tranformation. Index Term content management, project management, J2EE, web programming I. INTRODUCTION Project management ha been practiced ince early civilization. Previouly creative architect, engineer or builder were ued to managing the civil engineering project. Project Management ha been developed from variou field of application uch a defene, contruction, civil engineering project. The Henry Gantt called the father of planning and control technique. He ued the Gantt chart a a project management tool; and Henri Fayol ha created the 5 management function which have formed the bae of project and program management. Hi work i the foundation for modern project management tool including work breakdown tructure (WBS) and reource allocation. There are variou approache to uccefully complete a project. Some of the highlight of the requirement gathering phae included: Collecting project management idea. Analyzing the requirement of cutomer. propoed olution for project and jutify it. Submitting the propoal requet of the project. Forming the team for Project management. Preparing the document for requirement.. In Enterprie Project Management Sytem, all the information (functionalitie) regarding Project Detail Project Lit Archived Project Reource Management Scheduling Deadline Memo Etimation Calculation Communication i accounted for and implemented. II. EXISTING TECHNOLOGY There are many project management tool like Microoft Project [2] (MSP, MSOP or WinProj). After having analyzed and teted them over a period of time there were ome key point noted about them Drawback: 1. MS Project i incapable to olve the production related problem in available material. Additional oftware i required to manage a complex activity that produce phyical good. 2. It i alo in mot cae individual ytem oftware. It work on the individual ytem and later the data can be conolidated onto a erver and databae (uing MS Office Project Server). 3. It doe not have a meage paing ytem for the member of a project to communicate with each-other. 4. It i propriety oftware and a licene i needed to be procured for it uage 5. No archive of project i available, it only handle current project. So conidering the above point we added more feature in deigning and developing our framework. III. DESIGN The idea of our project i to implement a management ytem framework [1] on the enterprie level for managing all 739

3 the project which are being done by the organization. The ytem contitute of a relational databae for torage of the data. A relational databae ha been choen on the bai of the fact that it i eaier to inert, update and manage a relational databae epecially when it come to data which ha relevance to it different ub-part and it alo provide u a lot of functionalitie like join, foreign key and urrogate key. The RDBMS manage the relational databae. The ytem i implemented over a network name a it i for a particular organization. We created a web erver (web erver provide ervice by ending the requeted page over the network to the requeting client) for ervicing the requet of the client over the network. The idea behind uing a web brower i that we would alo be uing web technology like HTML, AJAX, etc, for the variou dynamic need like eion tracking, dynamic redirection etc. There are two uer participating in the ytem:- Employee & Manager The employee ue action to interact with the ytem, ome of the important action are View Project Lit View Project View Schedule View Deadline View Sent/Received Memo Perform communication (chat, forum or e- mail) The manager ue action to interact with the ytem, ome of the important action are Add/Update/View Project Lit Add/Update/Delete/View Project Add/Update/Delete/View Schedule Reource Management Create Memo View Sent/Received Memo Perform communication (chat, forum or e- mail) Fig 2. General Workflow Fig 3. Application Life Cycle The application deign i uch that it i able to facilitate the change and update a the requirement keep on changing over the period of time. The key apect i the framework that allow thi proviion. Fig 1. Sytem Framework Becaue the efficient deign the ytem i highly flexible in term of addition or updating of functionalitie and ecurity apect. IV. IMPLEMENTATION The entire ytem wa developed on Java technology [3] [5] which i platform independent and very economic hence uitable for all kind of enterprie. Ajax [4] i a web development tool ued on the client-ide to create web application aynchronouly. With Ajax, without interfering with the diplay and behavior of the exiting page web application can end data to and retrieve data from a erver aynchronouly.the object XMLHttpRequet i ued to end and receive data. AJAX i baed on internet tandard, and ue a combination of: The object XMLHttpRequet i ued to exchange data aynchronouly with a erver. JavaScript/DOM object i ued to diplay/interact with the information. CSS i ued to tyle the data. 740

4 XML i often ued for tranferring data among Incorporated Technologie. HTML (or XHTML) and CSS for preentation. The Document Object Model (DOM) for dynamic diplay of and interaction with data XML for the interchange of data and XSLT for it manipulation. The XMLHttpRepone object for aynchronou communication JavaScript i ued to bring thee technologie together. A ervlet i a Java programming language cla ued to enhance the functionalitie of erver that accee the application via a requet-repone programming model. Servlet can commonly repond to application hoted by Web erver. Java Applet that run on a erver intead of a brower. MySQL [6] i the Relational databae management ytem (RDBMS) that provide multi-uer acce to a number of databae run a a erver. JavaServer Page (JSP) i a technology that help to generate web page dynamically baed on HTML, XML, or other document type. A web erver compatible with ervlet container i required to deploy and run the program. The ervlet container mut upport JavaServer Page (JSP) pecification and the JCP (Java Community Proce) and Servlet. Apache Tomcat i a widely ued ervlet container/web erver. Teting i an application which i very important for ucce of application. Teting focue on teting fundamental including tet plan, tet procedure. Developer & uer hould participate in teting. In early development of life cycle of project we tart partial teting procedure in which we analyze for variou datatype & their capabilitie. Then during ytem deign we check repone of different form with each other & their compatibility with advanced datatype & query proceing. Then in early development of ource code, we keep on checking how the databae i behaving with jp form. We check all the field for proper & expected value where there wa bug we make change in coding & perform cycle procedure during ytem teting like we follow in development of project. 2. Click a link and initiate action 3. input i required 4. Databa e Update and Inert Link click with or without input preferenc e Input data Input Seion verified. Relevant ervlet invoked and jp hould generate uer relevant view If input i not there then uer i prompted to give an input, proce wait till input i given All field are filled All dicrepancie with databae record are to be checked and proper prompt given to uer Seion i verified. Relevant ervlet i invoked and view i generated Input i prompted, proce i topped till input i received All field are i given proper prompt TABLE I. TEST CASES 5.

Project detail VI. CONCLUSION We were ucceful in creating a common framework(prototype phae) for project management cenario; the ytem follow the object oriented programming methodology hence it i eay to cutomize in term of updating or adding new functionalitie to it. Since it i baed on a platform independent technology it i highly portable and available to all type of uer. It i very lightweight and portable in nature. Client only require a web brower to enter and acce the ytem to perform the operation. VII. FURTHER WORK A the enterprie requirement keep on changing over the period of time it i neceary to facilitate the update accordingly a the ytem framework i highly cutomizable in nature. A the data grow the ytem can be hoted on a cloud ervice that will make it more reliable in term of performance and availability.
