Overview
This program is a tool to assist in project management in general, and project scheduling in particular. It uses a critical path method (CPM) and applies it to software development. The technique is driven by information already developed in earlier project planning activities like: effort, product function, tasks decomposition, process model and task set.
CPM provide quantitative tool that allow the software planner to (1) determine the critical path - the chain of tasks that determines the duration of the project; (2) establish "most likely" time estimates for individual tasks by applying statistical models; and (3) calculate boundary times that define a time window for a particular task.
