Development of Network Planning Instrument in Project Management Systems
With a stable increase in complexity and labor input of projects on software development, there is a need for enhancement of the existing network planning instruments. In this article, the network planning instrument realized as a superstructure to Microsoft Project is considered. This tool is based on the use of standard works in software development projects, obtained as a result of the analysis of the standards regulating this activity and analysis of the development process itself. It is also proposed to use data mining methods to accumulated statistics on completed projects to predict the labor intensity of the project for each type of resources used and the average execution time. A description of the implemented logical data structure necessary for the successful operation of this tool, and an example of a constructed forecast model are given.
