Abstract

Computer aided project management is a useful tool in project planning especially when dealing with large and complex project plans. Project planning is often accomplished by older employees due to their knowledge and experience. This paper describes a usability study in which three off-the-shelf software tools were investigated regarding execution times, fixation durations and user acceptance for two different age groups. As a result deficits in the de-facto standard are detected and implications for further research are derived.
