The planning, development and updating of the construction project are key elements for leading a project to the finish line. A programme adapted to implementation is also required to obtain the best results. The two most common work programs for creating project schedules are Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Project. A project's tasks are identified and structured in a schedule, often called Gantt Schedule. It should give employees at the workplace an idea of the ongoing project's activities, as well as upcoming important events and deadlines. A timeschedule should also be able to pare for changes and allocate the project's resources evenly to prevent congestion. An effective schedule includes project start and finish dates, needed resources, and recurring tasks for updating and monitoring the project schedule. An assignment issued by BDX Företagen AB gave me the opportunity to create a template and instruction for facilitated work on the development and updating of project schedules in Microsoft Project. BDX is a construction company primarily active in northern Sweden. They carry out assignments for both private individuals and companies in land, road and infrastructure. They work daily on the creation of ongoing and upcoming projects and use Microsoft Excel as a planning program.  The background to the assignment of BDX is their efforts to improve work primarily on updating a project's schedule with the transition from Microsoft Excel to Microsoft Project. The template created contains the basic settings required for a good structure for a schedule. It also includes notes and shorter explanations of tools and features. BDX's focus on improvement around updating provided the premise that the template also contains recurring tasks, which means that they are scheduled continuously during the project. The usage instruction provides a more detailed description of the template, basic settings, and features.

The main purpose of this work is to create an application for project management sup-port. This application contains basic functionality of current available applications which deal with project management, but moreover adds functions such as team communication support, establishing specific roles in the system (project managers, technical specialists, resource managers, regular employees), etc. The proposed system is able to estimate time and cost of task based on knowledge database created from previous realized project.

Darbo tikslas: suprojektuoti ir sukurti el. projektų rengimo ir valdymo programinę įrangą skirtą kišeniniams kompiuteriams. Darbo uždaviniai: Išanalizuoti el. projektų rengimo programinę įrangą, išsiaiškinti Project Server 2003 architektūrą, suprojektuoti ir sukurti el. projektų valdymo programinę įrangą atsižvelgiant į dažniausiai naudojamus projektų valdymo įrankius. Išanalizavus el. projektų valdymo programinę įrangą, pastebima, kad vienos programos yra autonominės ir akcentuojamas duomenų eksportavimas norimu formatu, kitos eksportuoja duomenis Microsoft Project failų formatu ir tokiu būdu yra sinchronizuojama su personaliniu kompiuteriu. Buvo sukurta programinė įranga, kuri gali prisijungti prie nuotolinio Microsoft Office Project Server 2003 ir tokiu būdu valdyti projektą. Sąryšis tarp kliento ir serverio palaikomas PDS metodais – XML dokumentais. / Objective of work: design and create e-projects preparation and management software for palmtops. Tasks of work: Analyze e-projects preparation software, explore architecture of Project Server 2003, design and create e-projects management software considering most popular project management tools. After analyzing e-projects management software, it was noticed that some programs are autonomic and data export in desirable format is emphasized, other programs export data in Microsoft Project file format and in such way synchronize it with PC. Software, that can connect to remote Microsoft Office Project Server 2003 and manage project in this way, was created. Connection between client and server is enabled by PDS methods – XML documents.

The main goal of this paper is to test the applicability of the device for neural computer control on a group of ten volunteers. In the next part of the paper author focuses on Electroencephalography and the conversion of analog neural signals from brain to digital form. Next chapter describes currently on the market available devices, which allow customers direct computer controlling with the usage of bio signal from brain. The device selected for the purposes of this paper (Emotiv Epoc) is more described in detail. The last goal is an attempt to predict the future development of this technology. The paper demonstrates applicability of this device in its current form for everyday work with Microsoft Project and presents users who are able to learn to control a computer with this device in just 980 minutes of training.

The diploma thesis deals with the project management issues, specifically the proposal plan for the project of selected company's reallocation. The theoretical part describes elementary knowledge and tools of a project management which are used in following chapters. Analysis of current state is completed via study of opportunities in one of the chapters of practical part of the thesis. And time analysis, resource analysis, cost analysis and also risk analysis is described in chapter that follows. Benefits of the project and thesis as such are mentioned at the end of the thesis.

Hlavním tématem práce je problematika plánování a řízení projektů v oblasti IS/ICT projektů. Tato oblast se poměrně dynamicky vyvíjí a vznikají nové přístupy k řízení a plánování projektů. Hlavním cílem práce je porovnat několik standardně používaných metod s jednou z novějších metod ? Kritický řetěz. Zároveň je snaha přiblížit softwarový produkt, který je na základě této metody založen a podporuje řízení projektů pomocí této metody. Práce je situována do reálného prostředí a srovnává dané metody na reálném projektu implementace IS/ICT projektu. Práce je rozdělena do několika částí. První popisuje daný projekt. Ukazuje výchozí stav a problémy, které by měl projekt vyřešit. Také popisuje cílový stav a činnosti, které je nutné vykonat, aby ho bylo dosáhnuto.Druhá část je teoretické zázemí, které popisuje jednotlivé metody. V další části je samotná aplikace metod při plánování projektu. Předposlední část se věnuje průběhu projektu a ukazuje, jak se projekt vyvíjel. Tato část je doplněna reporty z jednotlivých softwarových nástrojů. V poslední části jsou zhodnoceny jednotlivé metody a na základě toho přijaty závěry, jaké postupy je při plánování a řízení IS/ICT projektů dobré přijmout.

The main object of this thesis is a design of the project with the utilization of project management principles in the chosen company. Company SynopsIS Technologies, a.s. is developing and selling a software solution for advocacy and law offices. The starting point of the entire process of designing is the strategic analysis of the current state of the company, analysis of the external environment and business field of the company. The main object is a designed project of the change, which will be used for project management in order to successfully reach set goals and minimize the risks of the project. A designed solution is using the support of Microsoft Project Professional 2016 software.

The diploma thesis deals with the issue of change management in the company environment according to the project management principles, following the field of e-commerce of the company. The starting point for project processing is the result of a strategic situational analysis of the external environment and the industry sector and the analysis of the current state of the company CONTROLSOUND, s.r.o. considering the strategy of information and communication technologies as well as the marketing strategy. The combination of which creates an e-commerce system. The solution to the problem of managed change is to develop proposals and plans that will serve to implement the project itself and reduce the risk of failure of the change in the company. For planning and managing the project will be used Microsoft Project Professional 2016 as a software support.

The content of this master´s thesis is to design a plan for the project to management system implementation of custom manufacturing.
