In terms of application areas, project management software is divided into two categories: engineering project management software and non-engineering project management software. Software project management tools are non-engineering project management software, but need to provide functional support for software engineering. The typical engineering project management software is Menglong, P3/P6 and so on. In addition to the above two categories, there is actually a single-function general-purpose project management software. The more typical ones are Project, which focuses on schedule management, and IBM's CR/CQ, which focuses on configuration and change management.
Foreign project management tools include: Microsoft's Project. With the advent of the Internet era, this single-function software has been difficult to meet the needs of enterprises. Project server is Microsoft's upgrade to Project to solve collaboration problems, but its functions are still limited to task management. There are also Primavera's engineering project management software P3 (which has been upgraded to P6), Artemis' Artemis Viewer, NIKU's Open WorkBench, Welcom's OpenPlan, SAP's ProjectSystems (PS) Module and other software, which are suitable for large and complex software. Engineering project management; Sciforma's ProjectScheduler (PS), Primavera's SureTrak, Microsoft's Project, IMSI's TurboProject, etc. are software suitable for small and medium-sized engineering project management. The above software is biased towards engineering project or general project management. For software or R&D projects, this type of software cannot meet the requirements very well. In addition, HP's QC, Atlassian's Jira, open source redmine, Microsoft's TFS, and IBM provide a series of independent solutions, such as CR/CQ, Doors, RequisitPro, etc., which tend to solve software project management. a certain aspect of the problem.

The software project management tools include the visualproject IT project management software of Beijing Shiruida Software Co., Ltd., which has been successfully applied to large enterprises such as Shenzhou Digital, China Construction Bank, China Merchants Bank, China Potevio, China Ping An, and also has a version suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. There are also software such as iMIS PM of Shenzhen Jiewei Technology Co., Ltd. QONE, developed by the Institute of Software of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is a software project management platform with independent intellectual property rights. The advantage is that it combines process improvement and software project management. ZenTao is an open source software project management software that supports small agile teams. Jintongyu Technology 's

According to the different software management functions and classifications, the prices of various project management software are also quite different, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan. The price of software suitable for small and medium-sized projects is generally only tens of thousands of yuan, and the price of software suitable for large and complex projects is hundreds of thousands to several million yuan. It is worth mentioning that the new Zhongda I6P project management system is one of the few enterprise-level engineering project management platforms in China that can manage the entire process of engineering projects. And it has reached 58% market share in the informatization construction of super-class construction enterprises.
Software research and development is an intellectual activity, and its particularity determines that traditional general project management software and management methods are not suitable for managing software projects. The Relax software R&D management platform launched by Quenfeng Software focuses on software project management, providing
