Abstract
While Industry Revolution 4.0 concept is implementing, most of the working environment are automatized and interoperated with Internet of Things and Big Data being processed real time using cloud computing. The use of efficient project management software in the modern world is increasing in order to achieve organizational objectives. There are several software in market that being used by people in the idustry, but the satisfaction and opinion of the users need to be clarify. The objectives of this research is to identify the implementation of project management software PlanGrid and ZenTao, to analysed the advantages and disadvanatges of the two software. To develop a theoretical basis for this study, literature related to the experiences and lessons learned in the project management software and application was reviewed. A questionnaire survey was conducted to asses the level of implementation and the satisfaction of the software by the users. The findings revealed that the the people working in construction and management industry is not very aware and implement the project management software PlanGrid and ZenTao in their daily working life. Furthermore, users could be more happy if the interface come up with interactive display. The good thing about agile approach is that it has adaptability to changes over the life cycle of the project and to different projects in general. Including Kanban in project management software would be good since it can visualize the workflow. Thus, more effective and efficient work output can be produce via online and towards Industry Revolution 4.0.
