I've worked with some pretty rotten software, but management software is easily the most user unfriendly, so my vote goes to HPSM.

My bad, I always dealt with IBM consultants on SAP sites so I assumed it was shitty enough to be an IBM product. I guess not, it's its own little island of shittiness. But according to Wikipedia, it was started as an IBM project inherited from Xerox and carried on by the 5 engineers at IBM that were on it when it was cancelled and they left to continue with it. So there is a genetic background showing that the shit acorn doesn't fall far from the shit tree.

So it's so bad that even IBM abandoned it!
