Conclusions (1)
OpenProj is a free, open-source project management solution. OpenProj is ideal for desktop project management and supports opening Microsoft or Primavera files. The activities of a project manager are diverse and complex. Where the planning and control of a project are concerned, the use of software can be practical.

Conclusions (2)
If a tool is evaluated according to individual requirements and introduced carefully, a particular project or a projectoriented organization can be influenced in a positive way. A project manager can, with the help of an appropriate tool, prepare a project strategy more deliberately, and can carry out the project more efficiently and with higher quality.
