A possibility to make project progress visible
Peter Lempp · ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes · 1986
Many software projects face difficulties because their monitoring relies too strongly on subjective information from the team members. Deviations from planning are often recognized too late.One possibility within an integrated project support environment is to visualize the progress in a project to the project management by preparing the technical development data in the project database. This can be seen as objective evaluation of the project status and should be used in addition to monitoring the exactly verifiable check points as e. g. reaching milestones. As an example of improved visibility in a project a progress diagram of the Engineering and Project-management Oriented Support System EPOS is presented.
