                                VOTING AGREEMENT

     VOTING AGREEMENT, dated as of April 24, 2006 (this "Agreement"), among the
stockholders listed on the signature page(s) hereto (collectively, the
"Stockholders" and each individually, a "Stockholder"), Manugistics Group, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the "Company") and JDA Software Group, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Parent"). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Merger
Agreement referred to below.

     WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Stockholders own of record and
beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) the shares
of capital stock of the Company set forth on Schedule A hereto (the "Shares");.

     WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent and the
Company are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date
hereof (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject
to the conditions thereof, a subsidiary of Parent will be merged with and into
the Company, and the Company will be the surviving corporation (the "Merger");
and

     WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of Parent to enter into the
Merger Agreement, Parent has required that the Stockholders agree, and in order
to induce Parent to enter into the Merger Agreement the Stockholders are
willing, to enter into this Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants
and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the
parties hereby agree, severally and not jointly, as follows:

     Section 1. Agreement to Vote Shares.

          (a) Each Stockholder covenants and agrees that until the termination
of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, such Stockholder shall
(a) when a meeting of the Company's stockholders is held, appear at such meeting
(in person or by proxy) or otherwise cause all Shares and any New Shares (as
defined below) to be counted as present thereat for the purpose of establishing
a quorum and (b) vote (or cause to be voted) the Shares and any New Shares (i)
in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the transactions
contemplated thereby; (ii) against the approval of any proposal made in
opposition to or in competition with the consummation of the Merger and the
Merger Agreement, (iii) against any proposal that would reasonably lead to or
result in the conditions of Parent's or Merger Sub's obligations under the
Merger Agreement not being fulfilled; (iv) against any Takeover Proposal from
any party other than Parent or an affiliate of Parent; and (v) against the
election of a group of individuals to replace a majority or more of the
individuals presently on the Board of Directors of the Company (each item set
forth in the foregoing clauses (i) through (v), a "Proposed Matter") at every
meeting of stockholders of Company called with respect to any Proposed Matter
(and at every postponement or adjournment thereof). Prior to the termination of
this Agreement, each Stockholder covenants and agrees not to enter into any
agreement or

<PAGE>

understanding with any person to vote or give instructions in any manner
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 1
shall apply to all Shares and New Shares owned by each Stockholder as of the
record date for the vote on any Proposed Matter.

          (b) Each Stockholder further agrees that, until the termination of
this Agreement, (Y) such Stockholder will not, and will not permit any entity
under such Stockholder's control to, (A) solicit proxies or become a
"participant" in a "solicitation" (as such terms are defined in Rule 14A under
the Exchange Act) with respect to an Opposing Proposal (as defined below), (B)
initiate a stockholders' vote with respect to an Opposing Proposal or (C) become
a member of a "group" (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act) with respect to any voting securities of the Company with respect to an
Opposing Proposal. For the purposes of this Agreement, an "Opposing Proposal"
means any action or proposal described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of Section
1.

          (c) New Shares shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted Shares. "New Shares" means:

               (i) any shares of capital stock or voting securities of the
Company that Stockholder purchases or with respect to which Stockholder
otherwise acquires beneficial ownership (whether through the exercise of any
options, warrants or other rights to purchase shares of Company Common Stock or
otherwise) after the date of this Agreement and prior to the termination of this
Agreement; and

               (ii) any shares of capital stock or voting securities of the
Company that Stockholder becomes the beneficial owner of as a result of any
change in Company Common Stock by reason of a stock dividend, stock split,
split-up, recapitalization, reorganization, business combination, consolidation,
exchange of shares, or any similar transaction or other change in the capital
structure of the Company affecting Company Common Stock.

     Section 2. Irrevocable Proxy. Each Stockholder has delivered to Parent a
duly executed proxy in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Proxy"), such
Proxy covering the issued and outstanding Shares and all issued and outstanding
New Shares in respect of which such Stockholder is the record holder and is
entitled to vote at each meeting of the stockholders of the Company (including,
without limitation, each written consent in lieu of a meeting) prior to the
termination of this Agreement. Upon the execution of this Agreement by such
Stockholder, such Stockholder hereby revokes any and all prior proxies or powers
of attorney given by such Stockholder with respect to voting of the Shares on
the matters referred to in Section 1 and agrees not to grant any subsequent
proxies or powers of attorney with respect to the voting of the Shares on the
matters referred to in Section 1 until after the Expiration Date. Each
Stockholder understands and acknowledges that Parent is entering into the Merger
Agreement in reliance upon the Stockholder's execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the Proxy. Each Stockholder hereby affirms that the Proxy is given
in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and that such Proxy is
given to secure the performance of the duties of such Stockholder under this
Agreement. Except as otherwise provided for herein, each Stockholder hereby (i)
affirms that the Proxy is coupled with an interest and may under no
circumstances be revoked prior to the Expiration Date, (ii) ratifies and
confirms all that the Proxies appointed hereunder may lawfully do or cause to be
done by virtue hereof, and (iii) affirms that such Proxy


                                       2

is executed and intended to be irrevocable to the extent permitted by the
provisions of Section 212 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The power of
attorney granted by each Stockholder herein is a durable power of attorney and
shall survive the dissolution, bankruptcy, death or incapacity of such
Stockholder. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Proxy
granted hereunder shall automatically terminate upon the termination of this
Agreement.

     Section 3. Transfer of Shares.

          (a) Until this Agreement is terminated, each Stockholder covenants and
agrees that such Stockholder will not directly or indirectly (i) sell, assign,
transfer (including by merger, testamentary disposition, interspousal
disposition pursuant to a domestic relations proceeding or otherwise by
operation of law), pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares or
New Shares, (ii) deposit any of the Shares or New Shares into a voting trust or
enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to the Shares or New
Shares or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto that is
inconsistent with this Agreement or (iii) enter into any contract, option,
agreement, commitment, understanding or other arrangement or undertaking with
respect to the direct or indirect sale, assignment, transfer, pledge,
encumbrance or other disposition of any Shares or New Shares (each, a
"Transfer"). Any Transfer or purported Transfer of share of Company Common Stock
in violation of the foregoing restricts shall be null and void.

          (b) Each Stockholder agrees to submit to the Company contemporaneously
with or promptly following execution of this Agreement all certificates
representing the Shares and upon delivery of such certificates representing the
New Shares, as soon as possible thereafter, so that the Company may place
thereon a legend referring to the transfer restrictions set forth in this
Agreement.

          (c) Permitted Transfers. Section 3(a) shall not prohibit a transfer of
Shares or New Shares by a Stockholder (i) upon the death of such Stockholder,
interspousal disposition, (ii) for tax or estate planning or charitable gift or
if such Stockholder is a partnership or limited liability company, to one or
more partners or members of such Stockholder to an affiliated corporation under
common control with such Stockholder; provided, however, that a transfer
referred to in this Section 3(c) shall be permitted only if, as a precondition
to such transfer, the transferee agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in
form and substance to Parent, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and
delivers a Proxy to Parent in substantially the form of the Proxy attached
hereto.

     Section 4. Representations and Warranties of the Stockholders. Each
Stockholder on his or her own behalf hereby severally represents and warrants to
Parent with respect to such Stockholder and such Stockholder's ownership of the
Shares as follows:

          (a) Ownership of Shares. The Stockholder beneficially owns all of the
Shares and rights to Shares as set forth on Schedule A hereto and has good and
marketable title to such Shares, free and clear of any claims, liens, options,
charges, proxies, voting trusts, agreements, rights, understandings,
arrangements, encumbrances or security interests. The Stockholder owns no shares
of Company Common Stock other than the Shares as set forth on Schedule A hereto.

and all requisite power and authority to enter into and perform all of his or
her obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly
