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
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
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).
