In order to adjust procedures in Serbia to the ones of other European countries, a strategic planning of cluster development in Serbia needs to be performed. There are more than 55 clusters in Serbia. Clusters represent significant tool of sustainable economic development. LEDIB Cluster House, an innovative organization, was formed in Nis in purpose of developing clusters all over South-East Serbia, with the mission to establish cooperation of business community organized into clusters and public and scientific-research sectors. Increase in the number of clusters in Serbia indicates that there is a need to create specific training for associates in the area of cluster development in Serbia. By applying the multidisciplinary approach in training of cluster facilitators, based on cooperation of Universities, business organizations and clusters, and with strong support of public sector, LEDIB Cluster House is contributing to creation of expert assistants – cluster facilitators, who will enable professional development of clusters in Serbia, strengthening thus the SME sector competitiveness through support to innovations.

Establishing of LEDIB Cluster House Project is a business development project consisting of the small-scale construction works, interior design and staff recruitment. The project management was enabled through application of the basic concept implemented in 6 stages: Project Objective and Description; Identification of the Project Manager and Team; Project Implementation Timeline Planning; Identification of the Required Resources and Finances; Implementation Monitoring and Necessary Interventions and Project Closeout. The basic objective of the Project is the closeout (completion) in the shortest period of time and with the lowest expenses. Planning, monitoring and control of the project implementation rely on the software support of the Microsoft Project – the standard program for project management.

The goal of each project is to be completed in the shortest possible time with minimal costs. Many studies have found that on average only 40% of started projects finished on time and budgets usually exceed an average of two times the predicted values. Such phenomena have led to greater use of Microsoft Project, who represents one of the most popular software packages used to support project management. This software package is used for planning, monitoring and control of realization of different types of projects, and is one of the easiest and most used software packages for project management. This paper describes the practical use of this software package in the process of dynamic plans, planning different kinds of resources, planning and cost analysis, monitoring and control of the project and, creating different types of reports.
