An efficient way to collect, analyze and transfer the project information, as well as tracking and coordination of information exchange are crucial for successful project finalization in industrial companies. Project members and teams have to be able to communicate the status of on-going project or projects, and a proper software solution can greatly improve the management of information among them. An overview is given on the development of a new software solution for project management, mainly for use in industrial environment. The main concern is application in everyday engineering practice in various, mainly distributed companies. Having this in mind, special care has been devoted to development of appropriate tools for tracking, storing and analysis of the information about the project, and intime delivering to the right team members or other responsible persons. The proposed project management solution is Internet-based and uses LAMP/WAMP (Linux or Windows - Apache - MySQL - PHP) platform. Main advantages of this software are simple usage, quick implementation, easy system maintenance, short training and only basic computer skills required from operators.
