ManagePro is a project and performance management software product produced by Angbert Enterprises LLC, a US software and IT consulting company headquartered in Downey, California.
History[edit]
ManagePro was originally developed in 1992 by Avantos Performance Systems, based in part on Drucker's work on Management by Objectives, and described as "MBA-ware, or management software"[1] by Fortune Magazine.
It was purchased in 1998 by Performance Solutions Technology and rewritten to include project[2] and performance management tools;[3] as well as an emphasis on supporting a strategic management approach based upon Action Learning[4] that links to day-to-day task management as described by David Allen in "Get Things Done."[5]
It was purchased again in 2018 by Angbert Enterprises LLC, and will again go through a rewrite to include cross-platform capabilities and a true cloud and tablet app.
In 2002, ManagePro partnered with MindJet, makers of MindManager software, which enables users to capture and communicate ideas and information with a visual interface.[6]
In 2008, ManagePro released their Microsoft Outlook Add-in, which enables users to directly link email to a project, task, or phase of the work process. [7]
Software[edit]
Available as a Windows desktop application (ManagePro(R)). It includes components for general goal and project management, strategic planning, task management, document management, scorecards, performance reviews, time cards, and WBS (Work Breakdown Structure).
