The number of project management software developed is increasing which encourages better project management practices. Reluctance to use software may be due to a lack of understanding of software applications, considering software to be complex and impractical, or because it is perceived as expensive. This paper aims to evaluate "Progresi" as a project management software created by a local developer, specifically aimed at managing construction projects in Indonesia. A simulation is carried out based on real project data, to find out the features of the software and its potential use for construction project management. The research results show that “Progresi” produces Gantt charts, S-curves, budget tables, and resource tables. Its unique feature is that it accommodates the concept of unit price analysis for cost budgeting, provides a menu for safety management, generates daily project reports, and can be used to store photos and documents neatly and easily accessible which are useful for project audit purposes. Suggestions that can be given for improving this software are the need to provide a formal software manual, supplement it with network planning, and improve the appearance of Gantt charts and tables to make it look more professional.
