The relevance of the article is due to the existing complexity in the selection of software
products that can effectively manage projects in various fields of activity. Therefore, for a fullfledged, diverse analysis of the systems represented on the industry market, it has been proposed
to use a two-step method of formalized evaluation of the functionality of software and systems.
As a result of the first stage, the results of a multivariate analysis of the software of automated
project management systems currently on the market are presented. In the course of the
criterion assessment, the functional and instrumental characteristics required for products of
this type were selected. For each indicator, it has been proposed to use weights and ranking
maps. The results of the analysis showed that the most important indicators for evaluating the
automated project management software are: integration mechanisms with third-party systems,
the possibility of networked multi-user interaction, technology for organizing business
management processes in project management systems. At the second stage of the research, it
was proposed, using functional and instrumental characteristics, to rank software products
based on the opinion of experts in the field of design. For this, the method of verbal analysis of
decisions was used. Thus, the evaluation of software products has allowed to conclude that in
the market there are universal software that has its own advantages and disadvantages, but is
not suitable for use in highly specialized areas. However, the method of verbal analysis of
decisions based on the opinions of experts in the field of design allows you to choose the most
effective tool for project management in a specific industry area
