Abstract

With the proliferation of project management software tools, the growth of more and more complex software projects and the dissatisfaction and limitation of the capabilities of the current tools, more companies are looking at the possibility of developing their own project management tools. This paper presents the basic principles and considerations for developing the functional specifications for developing a three dimensional Work Breakdown Structure. A metric for measuring the progress is presented. The metric states that, tracking the progress of the development of a software system is a function of the relative value of the outputs to be undertaken for each node of the software architecture, the phase in which the work will be undertaken and the tasks to complete the work. A description of some of the basic considerations for generating a WBS, PERT, Gantt, and Manpower Distribution Graph are presented.
