Design and implementation of an Application for Activity Network Diagram Visualization

The aim of the bachelor’s thesis is to design a software application for project management support utilizing the CPM (Critical Path Method), PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) and CPM/COST. The thesis includes an analysis of available project management tools, implementing these methods. Based on the analysis, a prototype application implementing these methods is designed. The thesis is structured into three main parts. The theoretical part provides an overview of quantitative project management tools and commonly used forms of project visualization. The analytical part of the thesis compares existing software applications supporting project management, enabling the identification of standards and potential gaps that the designed application addresses. The practical part of the thesis consists of the complete design of the project management application. The design includes functional and non-functional requirements, the relation data model, selected technological stack and defined use cases. It also includes technical documentation of the functional prototype of the application The outcome of this work is a functional prototype of an application supporting project management using CPM, PERT and CPM/COST, accompanied by technical documentation and project design, which provides a foundation for future development.
