In this thesis, the authors focus on answering the mentioned question by researching the theories of project management, together with studying the case of two project management softwares. This thesis studies the utility of two project management softwares in corresponding cases (JIRA and Microsoft Project 2013). Meanwhile, a list of criteria will be defined, for measuring the software, from available studies. Deductive research approach is applied to answer the research questions. For data collection, available books and articles were studied to generate the summary for the literature review, while semi-structured interview was used to examine participants’ experiences. Then, answers from participants’ experiences were compiled and compared to the summarized literature review. The result displayed how project management softwares were utilized in each case, and how relevant the software was to the generated criteria. These criteria can be considered as guidelines for the selection process of project management software. On the other hand, the result posed its limitations. Thus, the authors recommend more research to be done for the completion of this matter.
