An overview is given on the development of a new software solution for project management, mainly for use in industrial environment. The main concern is application in everyday engineering practice in various, mainly distributed companies. Having this in mind, special care has been devoted to development of appropriate tools for tracking, storing and analysis of the information about the project, and intime delivering to the right team members or other responsible persons. The proposed project management solution is Internet-based and uses LAMP/WAMP (Linux or Windows - Apache - MySQL - PHP) platform.
