A brief history of the Micro Planner software (UK) can be found at: https://mosaicprojects.com.au/Company_People_MPI.php

They had software on the Apple II (1978)  IBM PCs were early 1980s with 'windows' being released in 1984. 

Other tools from the UK in the same time period included Plantrack and Hornet. USA: InstaPlan, Microsoft Project, the original Pertmaster (maybe UK), Timeline and literally dozens of others.

Primavera was founded in May 1983 by: Dick Faris, Joel Koppelman and Les Seskin
