A method for project management that can be used to achieve a more accurate project schedule at the beginning of, and during the life of a project. The method can be built into a software product, or used manually.

The method uses data collection, modeling, analysis, reporting and visualization to reduce the impact of risk in project scheduling and thereby improve the project's chances of a successful outcome (e.g. as measured by stronger adherence to: budget, deadline, quality and specifications).

The method introduces time estimation error, distraction rate and schedule confidence into the project schedule and provides for visualization of the schedule in the form of Gantt charts in difference views organization by component, by team member and by project.

A system and method for visualizing data in two-dimensional time-space diagrams including generating multi-dimensional program trace files, converting and merging them into interval trace files, and generating multiple time-space diagrams (multiple Gantt charts) to visualize the resulting multi-dimensional interval trace files. The needed events and trace information required to form multi-dimensional event traces are described in event trace files typically gathered from running programs, such as parallel programs for technical computing and Web server processes. The method includes converting event traces into interval traces. In one selectable design, the two-dimensional time-space diagrams includes three discriminator types (thread, processor, and activity) and six discriminator-legend combinations, capable of producing seven possible views. The six discriminator-legend combinations are thread-activity, thread-processor, processor-thread, processor-activity, activity-thread, and activity-processor. Each discriminator-legend combination corresponds to one time-space diagram, except that the thread-activity combination has two possible views: Thread-Activity View and Connected Thread-Activity View.

A graphical user interface for a Gantt chart map display (100) includes a list of projects (214), a corresponding activity timeline reflecting activity for each project, and a control (210) at a side or bottom area of the Gantt chart map display for manipulating date ranges viewable in the viewable area. The GUI further includes a selected date range control (204) providing a high level view (202) of the corresponding activity timeline displayed in the viewable area (212) above and can provide a high level view of corresponding activity beyond the scrollable view. A dynamic set of controls (205 and 206) enables preset filtered views of the Gantt chart with preset time frames such as days, weeks, months and years or predetermined date ranges entered by a user. The preset filtered view can also automatically re-sort and scale content on the Gantt chart into a viewable area to reduce scrolling.

Scheduling software that provides both a deterministic schedule, such as shown in a Gantt chart or a work-to list (the role of traditional FCS software), along with additional information that can be used to judge the risk of the schedule when taking into account both the variations in task times, as well as the unplanned events. One embodiment of the present invention is a simulation model of a facility that incorporates the variations in task times and randomly generated events to provide stochastic estimates of risk measures. Another embodiment of the present invention may be the same model that is used to generate the deterministic schedule, however when generating the schedule the random variations and events are turned off, thereby generating a deterministic schedule. The same model can then be reused with the variations and random events turned on to generate risk measures for the associated deterministic schedule.
