Project Management Information System

A system made up of tools and methods used to collect, combine, and share the results produced by project management processes.

Key Points

  • Serves as the central hub for project data across scope, schedule, cost, quality, and resources.
  • Supports planning, execution, monitoring, and reporting with workflows, dashboards, and alerts.
  • Often includes document control, change management, risk/issue logs, and communication features.
  • Can be a single platform or an integrated suite of applications and procedures with defined access controls.

Example

A PM sets up a PMIS that links Primavera for scheduling, an ERP cost module, SharePoint for documents, and Power BI dashboards. Nightly integrations pull data from each tool to produce an automated weekly status report emailed to stakeholders and stored in the project repository.
