Original Abstract

The article presents the Microsoft Project 2010 application as a convenient form of knowledge base for project management. This is also its main objective. The topic of the article was chosen in response to the unsatisfactory results obtained in the primary survey focused on the usage of software tools for project management support. The survey was carried out in selected innovative companies from the region of Vysočina, Czech Republic. The article first gives the necessary theoretical assumptions relating to the issues of knowledge and project management. Further on, it focuses more closely on an introduction of the MS Project 2010 application as an appropriate knowledge base connected with the project in all its stages. The article points out the necessity of entering all information and knowledge about the time, resource and cost analysis of the project to the application. This is the only way to centralize all the information and knowledge, minimizing thus the risk of an incorrect resource analysis, and hence miscalculated project costs.
