Abstract

This research study aims 1) to analyze, design, and develop an information system for project management 2) to evaluate the efficiency of the information system for project management, and 3) to assess user satisfaction with the use of the information system for project management. The system development process follows the principles of software development life cycle (SDLC) and is implemented as a web application using PHP, with Maria DB as the database management system. The evaluation of system performance and user satisfaction utilizes questionnaires as assessment tools, with statistical analysis involving frequency, percentages, mean values, and standard deviations.


The research findings indicate that the faculty staff can submit project proposals, completed projects, and project reports online from any location and at any time. Faculty administrators can review submitted projects for redundancy through the system. They can also promptly access comprehensive information on recorded projects for the current fiscal year. In addition, the developed information system can facilitate systematic project management, enabling convenient, rapid retrieval of project information from both past and present and meeting user requirements. The evaluation of system performance by experts demonstrated the highest score (M = 4.58, SD = 0.673). The results of the user satisfaction assessment showed that the overall user satisfaction level was high (M = 4.43, SD = 0.434).
