U teorijskoj podlozi su objašnjeni svi pojmovi potrebni za dublje razumijevanje teme. Teorija počinje osnovnim definiranjem pojmova projekta, programa i portfelja. U nastavku su navedene i definirane metode za upravljanje projektima. Kroz detaljnije opise metoda se prelazi u popis alata za upravljanje projektima. Navedene metode za upravljanje su PMBOK, IPMA ICB, OPEN PM2 i PRINCE2. Alati uključeni u rad su Microsoft Project, Oracle Primavera, Wrike, Teamwork Projects i Streamtime. Nakon navedenih elemenata je objašnjen pojam logičke matrice, ISO standarda i općeniti dio motivacije i komunikacije u projektima. U poglavlju usporedba metoda za upravljanje projektima su navedena sva obilježja pojedinih metoda i kako odgovaraju pojedinim tipovima projekata. Cilj je analizirati navedene metode i procijeniti koja predstavlja najbolji izbor za učenje i primjenu u upravljanju projektima. Unutar rasprave, sva obilježja metoda se gledaju kritički i uspoređuju se prednosti i nedostaci. Tablica ocjenjivanja u radu je osobna procjena autora koja proizlazi iz vlastitog procesa učenja i izrade istog. Krajnje, zaključuje se rad i sva mišljenja o pojedinim metodama.The theoretical background explains all the concepts needed to understand the topic more deeply. Theory begins with a basic definition of the terms project, program and portfolio. Project management methods are defined below. Through more detailed descriptions, the method goes into the list of project management tools. The listed management methods are PMBOK, IPMA ICB, OPEN PM2 and PRINCE2. The tools included in the work are Microsoft Project, Oracle Primavera, Wrike, Teamwork Projects and Streamtime. Following these elements, the concept of logical matrix, ISO standards and the general part of project motivation and communication are explained. The Comparison of Project Management Methods section lists all the characteristics of individual methods and how they fit into each project type. The aim is to analyze these methods and evaluate which one is the best choice for learning and application in project management. Within the discussion, all the characteristics of the methods are viewed critically, and the advantages and disadvantages are compared. The grading table in the paper is a personal assessment of the author, resulting from his own process of learning and making one. Finally, the paper concludes with all opinions on particular methods
