The line graph 185 is a line graph in which the vertical axis (the axis of 1) is the achievement rate of the work and the horizontal axis (the other axis) is the number of days, and the transition of the achievement rate of the work is recorded.
In the line graph 185, a reference line indicating the progress of the work when the work is performed as scheduled is indicated by a dotted line 187, and the actual progress of the work is indicated by solid lines 188, 189, 190,.
When the work progresses late, the slope of the solid line becomes smaller than the reference line, and the solid line becomes below the reference line, and when the work progresses beyond the schedule, the slope of the solid line becomes larger than the reference line, and the solid line becomes above the reference line. Become.
[0061]
The solid line of the line graph 185 is drawn on the Gantt chart input screen 135 (FIG. 11) when the end date input field 141 is input again and the arrow 88 expands and contracts, and is updated in day units. In other words, if the schedule is extended at the stage of work and the end date in the Gantt chart is extended, a solid line with a small slope is drawn according to the degree, the work progresses and the end date in the Gantt chart is advanced Is drawn with an inclination corresponding to the degree of rising from the end point of the previously drawn solid line.
[0062]
This is because the server 3 stores the change history of the Gantt chart in the database unit 12 and generates screen data for displaying the progress line graph screen 184 using the change date and time and the change amount of the scheduled period. It is.
More specifically, when a member updates the Gantt chart column 75, the history (particularly the date and time when the editing information was acquired and the amount of change in the work period changed by the editing information) is stored, and the editing information is saved. This is to calculate the amount of work to be achieved on the day relative to the amount of work to be achieved on the day received. When the actual work achievement is calculated each time the work period is changed, and plotted at the date and time when the editing information is acquired, the transition of the achievement rate is obtained as a line graph. When the graph screen data for displaying the graph is created and transmitted to the terminal 5, the terminal 5 displays a graph showing the transition of the progress.
As described above, the server 3 allows the CPU 6 to execute the group work support project, whereby the graph creating means can be configured.
[0063]
In FIG. 14, initially, as indicated by the solid line 188, the work was later than expected, but thereafter, the work progressed beyond the schedule as indicated by the solid line 189, and then, as indicated by the solid line 190, the work was delayed again from the schedule. It means that it has been done.
As described above, the progress status can be intuitively grasped by displaying the progress status on the line graph 185.
The reason column 192 can be input for each solid line of the line graph 185. If the work is delayed, the reason is input, and if the work is advanced, the reason is input. When the reason is input, the corresponding solid line in the line graph 185 is clicked and selected. When a solid line of the line graph 185 is clicked, the reason already input for the solid line is displayed in the reason column 182.
[0064]
When the write button 193 is clicked, the information input in the reason column 192 is transmitted to the server 3, and the progress line graph screen 184 is updated.
In the server 3, the reason written by the member is stored in the database unit 12, and other members can refer to the reason.
As described above, by executing the group work support program on the CPU 6 in the server 3, it is possible to configure a reason writing unit that writes a reason when the actual achievement rate does not match the planned achievement rate.
[0065]
Conventionally, in such a progress management, since a person in charge inputs% or the like, it takes time and effort to input, and the input value may be appropriate. In general, bar graphs are used for graphing, and it is difficult to understand visually.
In the present embodiment, the result of schedule modification can be directly reflected in progress management as data. In addition, by making the graph a line graph, the actual progress is displayed in a vertical direction with respect to the reference line, so that it is easy to visually understand.
It should be noted that an alarm may be issued when the work delay is increased to some extent.
