Abstract
ProTrack (acronym for Project Tracking) is a project scheduling and tracking software tool developed by OR-AS to offer a straightforward yet effective alternative to the numerous project scheduling and tracking software tools. The software has been built based on the results of the research studies discussed in Vanhoucke (2010a) and the many discussions with practitioners using software tools for dynamic scheduling. The project scheduling, risk analysis and project control approach is based on the current best practices from literature. ProTrack has been developed based on many research projects on the three dimensions of dynamic scheduling. Moreover, ProTrack also contains three additional engines based on state-of-the-art research in dynamic scheduling: a project generation engine, a simulation engine and a time forecasting engine. Each of these engines will be discussed in the current chapter.
