CLOUD-BASED PROJECT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Abstract

The complex nature of construction project management creates a need for effective communication. However, the traditional methods of the construction industry create problems throughout the project lifecycle. Because there is no single centralized platform and the present communication tools and methods are sometimes disorganized, there is a lack of real-time collaboration. Our project aims to provide the users with a single platform that provides seamless communication and bidding processes. The process includes a comprehensive assessment of the literature, which directs the creation of a platform that incorporates knowledge from previous research. Important stages include building a trustworthy freelancer database, getting industry feedback, analyzing the data using the technology acceptance model and iteratively developing the product based on testing and user input. Strong security measures and an intuitive user interface are given top priority. Project management in the construction sector can be optimized and a reliable pool of independent contractors can be created with more stakeholder participation. This is the planned contribution of the research. The research helped us in identifying the key variables needed to create this platform which include perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude towards using, behavioral intention to use and actual system use.
