Abstract:

Effective and efficient project management is essential at all times to ensure a project meets its goals, within given constraints. This paper seeks to determine how cloud computing can enhance project management, through looking at the ten project management bodies of knowledge (PMBOK). Results showed that there are various cloud project management tools available having the potential to perform better than traditional project management tools, in all areas of the PMBOK. A qualitative analysis performed on the relevant literature by using software discovered the overall outlook on the concept of cloud project management is positive. Observations from this research and analysis resulted in some recommendations, which may help ensure successful project management using cloud computing.
