Best Production Management Software

Neya Kumaresan
NK
Researched and written by Neya Kumaresan

Production management software is designed to help manage live productions from pre-production to post-production. These tools put all information a production team would need—such as rehearsal schedules, contact information, and scripts—in one place, facilitating and streamlining the entire production process.

Production management software can be used by anyone on a live production team, though stage managers, production managers, and directors might find the most use when interacting with calendars and scripts. Many production management tools allow entire casts and design teams access to relevant documents, also acting as a cloud storage space for a production team. Some production management software combines with theater venue management software to fully streamline the production and live venue management process. Furthermore, production management tools integrate with common calendar and email applications.

To qualify for inclusion in the Production Management category, a product must:

Serve the needs of a live production process
Provide a calendar with advanced scheduling capabilities
Centralize all production contacts, including production staff and cast
Store scripts and other documents, including lists, in one place
