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]
