Software project planning can be one of the most critical activities in the modern software development process. Without a realistic and objective software project plan, the software development process cannot be managed in an effective way. Overruns of one or two hundred percent are common. Some software projects never deliver anything. Managers have difficulty understanding and visualizing software development process defined in a software project plan. The Software Project Planning Associate (SPPA), developed in the Java programming language, is accessed through standard World Wide Web browsers and designed to assist a software project manager in objectively initializing a software project plan, refining/improving a plan, organizing, staffing, scheduling, measuring, visualizing, controlling, tracking, predicting, and data collecting. The resources, tasks, schedules, and milestones of the software project are described in the plan. As software development process evolves, measurements are unobtrusively gathered and compliance to the software project plan is reported. Software process effectiveness predictions are made and recommendations are dynamically reported suggesting the software development that should be executed to best comply with the software project plan. The SPPA was developed according to a Knowledge Base Plan model to allow the manager to keep track of the software plan component. SPPA with the assistance of the software project-planning agent reports problems and suggests problem solutions to the manager. SPPA helps managers assure that a project is within budget, on time, and to customer satisfaction.
