Abstract

Over the past few decades, Bangladesh's economy has grown in an astonishing manner. It's important to remember, nevertheless, that embracing new technologies will help us meet our challenges and remain competitive in the global market. In the upcoming years, maintaining and expanding economic growth will depend on continued attempts to adapt new technologies. If we concentrate on the projected budget for the past few decades, it is evident that the budget for development is rising daily. When various digital technologies were used in the project implementation process, it had a favorable effect on how quickly projects were completed. However, the expenditure from the development budget is still on the lower side. Therefore, a strong emphasis on efficient project implementation tools and qualified staff is required for project execution. The Ministry of Social Welfare's Department of Social Services (DSS) is a leader in using digital platforms and resources. It uses a digital platform as an implementation tool and has great success implementing its programmes, particularly Social SafetyNet. Similar to this, DSS has been trying to include digitization in every initiative it runs. They use d-nothi, ibas++, e- GP, AMS, MIS and NISE. In managing & monitoring project they rely on ibas++, PMIS, ams software & e-GP. I tried to get in touch with a few of our project directors who are currently on the charge of projects in order to produce this report. I tried to learn about DSS’s ICT practises from them in order to carry out the projects. They discussed the current situation at an expert level. They all agreed that using ICT tools in project management is essential for the effective use of development budgets. The effective use of the tools that reduce effort across the whole project cycle is therefore the most crucial component of using ICT tools in project management. In summary, it can be claimed that in order to apply this ICT tools in project management suitable plans and policies, IT-capable workforce, culture and an open attitude are required.
