Various software products are available which can assist an EMB with its internal planning processes.
Structured software programs can be used to facilitate higher level strategic planning, helping to set goals, aims and visions. Software can also be used for more practical operational planning, which is more specific and more detailed, including setting tasks and performance indicators.
Software can also be used to enter tasks into calendars, allowing tasks to be scheduled and time lines to be constructed. Such programs can be set up to give advance warning of approaching deadlines and to automatically inform all relevant members of a task force of meetings and critical dates.
