Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a technique for supporting management of a project relating to product development, and in particular,
It is related to technology for sharing management know-how indicating measures for managing a project.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In managing a project related to product development, in order to achieve the target quality, deadline, and cost, and to make the project successful, sufficient time and man-hours for project planning are required prior to the start of the project. It is necessary to improve the planning accuracy of the project by extracting the necessary work items and estimating the work volume. Further, it is important to manage the actual performance of the quality, deadline, and cost plans at any time even after the start of the project, and to promptly implement the measures when there is a difference between the planned performance and the actual performance. In particular, in projects such as product development with rapid technological innovation and construction of information systems, there is an increasing need to promptly deal with various problems that occur as the project progresses.

From this point of view, various techniques for supporting project management have been proposed. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-143930 discloses a technique for supporting the planning and management of work such as research and development whose future is unclear. In addition, JP-A-5-89144

The know-how searching means searches for management know-how registered in the know-how database in association with the progress status data that matches or approximates the progress status data calculated by the progress status data calculating means, and searches the management know-how. Present the results.

When the know-how data registration / updating means receives management know-how in relation to the search result presented by the know-how searching means, the know-how searching means receives the management know-how from the progress status data calculating means. It is registered or updated in the know-how database in association with the data.

For example, when the know-how data registration / update means newly receives management know-how in association with the search result presented by the know-how search means, the know-how search means receives the management know-how from the progress status data calculation means. It is registered in the know-how database in association with the progress status data. Further, for example, when the know-how data registration / update means receives a change of the management know-how presented by the know-how search means as a search result, the know-how data registration / update means updates the management know-how registered in the know-how database according to the received change content. .

According to the present invention, when the progress status data calculating means receives the designation of the project and the calculation time point of the progress status data, the management know-how according to the progress status of the project at the calculation time point can be obtained by the above configuration. It is retrieved from the know-how database and presented. Therefore, the operator can obtain the necessary management know-how simply by designating the project and the calculation time point of the progress status data.

Further, in the present invention, when the know-how updating means receives management know-how in association with the management know-how presented by the know-how searching means,
This management know-how is registered in the know-how database in association with the progress status data received by the know-how searching means from the progress status data calculating means. Therefore, the operator can promptly and appropriately share the latest management know-how acquired by himself / herself by designating the project and the calculation time point of the progress status data and inputting the registered or updated management know-how. .

Project management support apparatus 1 of this embodiment
The operation of includes a project data registration / update process, a project data update frequency measurement process, a know-how data presentation process, and a know-how data registration / update process.

First, the process of registering and updating the project data will be described.

FIG. 7 is a flow chart for explaining the project data registration / update processing by the project management support apparatus 1 of the present embodiment.

First, when a project plan is drafted and the contents of the project management data 121, the process data 122 and the plan data 123 are confirmed, the operator who is the project manager uses the operation terminal 2 to operate the project management support apparatus. A request for new registration of project data is sent to 1.

When the project data registration / update section 14 of the project management support apparatus 1 receives a new registration request from the operation terminal 2 via the network IF section 11 and the main control section 19 (S701), for example, as shown in FIG. A new registration screen is displayed on the operation terminal 2, and the project management data 121, the process data 122, and the plan data 123 are accepted from the operator of the operation terminal 2 (S70).
2). And the accepted project management data 12
1. The process data 122 and the plan data 123 are registered in the project DB 12 in association with each other (S70).
3). At this time, the actual result data 124 is created in accordance with the number of steps of the received step data 122 (however, the content is blank at this point), and this is set to the above data 121 to
It is registered in the project DB 12 in association with 123.

When it is necessary to register / update the actual data 124 or correct the plan data 123 as the project progresses, the operator uses the operation terminal 2 to set the project management support apparatus 1 to the project management support apparatus 1. Send a data update registration request.

When the project data registration / update section 14 of the project management support apparatus 1 receives an update registration request from the operation terminal 2 via the network IF section 11 and the main control section 19 (S704), for example, as shown in FIG. The update terminal selection screen is displayed on the operation terminal 2, and the project management data 121 and the specification of the update object are accepted from the operator of the operation terminal 2 (S705).

Then, the project data registration / updating unit 14 obtains the update target data (either the plan data 123 or the actual result data 124) and the process data 122 associated with the project management data 121 received in S705 from the project DB 12. The update registration screen is created based on the read data and the project management data 121, and is displayed on the operation terminal 2 (S706). 10A shows the update registration screen when the update target is the plan data 123, and FIG. 10B shows the update registration screen when the update target is the actual data 123. Here, the operator of the operation terminal 2 corrects / adds the update target data (plan data 123 or actual data 124) displayed on the update registration screen using an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse, and manages the project. It can be transmitted to the support device 1.

Now, the project data registration / update unit 14
Receives update target data from the operation terminal 2 via the network IF unit 11 and the main control unit 19 (S7
07), the update target data registered in the project DB 12 associated with the project management data 121 received in S705 is updated to the update target data received from the operation terminal 2 (S708).

Next, the update frequency measuring process of the project data will be described.

FIG. 11 is a flow chart for explaining the process of measuring the update frequency of project data by the project management support system 1 of this embodiment.

Project data update frequency measuring unit 15
Is the plan data 123 and the actual data 12 for each project data registered in the project DB 12.
The update processing history of No. 4 is recorded (S1101).

Further, the project data update frequency measuring unit 15 generates a predetermined event such as when the current date and time reaches a predetermined date and time or when an instruction from the operator of the project management support apparatus 1 is received (S1102). , Plan data 1 based on the history of update processing for any project data registered in the project DB 12
23 and the update frequency of the actual data 124 are calculated (S1103). Then, the project data update frequency measuring unit 15 determines that the calculated update frequency of the plan data 123 is larger than a predetermined threshold value (S110).
4) It is determined that the initially planned project is unreasonable, and a message to that effect is sent to the main control unit 19
And it transmits to the operation terminal 2 specified by the address information contained in the project management data 121 of this project data via the network IF unit 11 (S1105). Thereby, the operator of the operation terminal 2
It becomes possible to make a more appropriate judgment as to whether or not there is a need for a major overhaul of the project that he is in charge of.

If the calculated update frequency of the actual data 124 is smaller than the predetermined threshold value (S1106), the project data update frequency measuring unit 15 does not manage the project sufficiently and the actual result of the project is the project DB 12 It is judged that it has not been reflected in
A message to that effect is transmitted to the operation terminal 2 specified by the address information included in the project management data 121 of this project data via the main control unit 19 and the network IF unit 11 (S1107). This allows the operator of the operation terminal 2 to be careful so as to appropriately manage the project that the operator is in charge of.

Now, the project data update frequency measuring unit 15 determines the above S1103 to S1 for all the project data registered in the project DB 12.
If the process of 107 is not performed (S1108),
Returning to S1103, the processes of S1103 to S1107 are performed on the remaining project data. On the other hand, if yes, the process returns to S1101 to record the history for each project.

Next, the know-how data presentation process will be described.

Is displayed on the operation terminal 2, and the project management data 121 is accepted from the operator of the operation terminal 2 (S1
202).

Next, the progress status data calculation unit 16 determines S1
The project data including the project management data 121 accepted in 202 is read from the project DB 12. Then, the latest process (the most downstream process in which the content is registered) registered in the actual data 124 in the read project data is set as the process at the time when the progress status of this project should be calculated, According to the procedure described above, the progress status data 131 at the end of the process of this project is calculated. Then, the calculated progress status data 131 is passed to the main control unit 19 together with the read project data. The main control unit 19 notifies the know-how data search unit 17 of the progress status data 131 received from the progress status data calculation unit 16 (S1203).

The know-how data retrieving unit 17 manages the management know-how data 132 associated with the progress status data 131 that matches or approximates the progress status data 131 notified from the main control unit 19 according to the procedure described above.
And the validity confirmation data 133 are searched from the know-how DB 13. Then, the management know-how data 132
If the validity confirmation data 133 can be detected, these are passed to the main control unit 19 as search results. If not detected, a message to that effect is passed to the main control unit 19 as a search result (S1204).

Now, when the main control unit 19 receives the search result from the know-how data search unit 17, the search result and the
The project data received from the progress status data calculation unit 16 in S1203 is transmitted to the operation terminal 2 that has made a presentation request via the network IF unit 11, and a know-how presentation screen as shown in FIG. Is displayed on the screen (S1205).

Note that FIG. 13A shows an example in which the management know-how data 132 can be detected in S1204, and FIG. 13B shows the case where the management know-how data 132 cannot be detected in S1204. An example is shown. Here, reference numeral 1301 is a project data display button. This button 1301
When is operated, the operation terminal 2 displays the project data received from the project management support apparatus 1.
At this time, the project data may be displayed in a graph as shown in FIG.

As a result, the operator considers the measures indicated by the management know-how data 132 displayed on the operation terminal 2 in consideration of the validity confirmation data 133 displayed together with the management know-how data 132, and is in charge of himself / herself. It is possible to take measures to smoothly proceed with the project.
