About this technology
Overview
Many organizations face complex, hierarchical program and management structures, each with its own budget, requirements, milestones, and goals. This invention is a system for managing a project that includes multiple tasks and a plurality of workers. Input information includes characterizations based upon a human model, a team model, and a product model. Periodic reports, such as monthly report, a task plan report, a schedule report, a budget report, and a risk management report, are generated and made available for display or further analysis or collection into a customized report template. An extensible database allows searching for information based upon context and content. Seven different types of project risks are addressed, including nonavailability of required skill mix of workers. The system can be configured to exchange data and results with corresponding portions of similar project analyses, and to provide user-specific access to specified information.
