Description

The present invention organizes, stores, and displays programs and various related information when implementing business activities with program management, thereby supporting the user's thoughts when embodying the program and executing the program. In this case, the present invention relates to a program management chart creation support system that can be used for program progress management and the like.

In recent years, program management has attracted attention as a management method for large-scale, long-term or small-scale complex business activities. Program management is characterized in that it can respond flexibly to changes in the business environment compared to project management, and it is possible to manage business activities that cannot be handled by conventional project management methods. As a system for supporting the implementation of the conventional project management, for example, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-129125) is a system used for managing a project, and the progress stages of the project are time-series. Data representing items to be executed in the project in association with the first group of processes obtained by classifying the process and the second group of processes obtained by classifying the thinking process for solving the problem , Input means used for inputting data to a terminal, recording means for recording data input using the input means in association with the first group of processes and the second group of processes, and the recording Based on the data recorded in the means, the direction representing the first group of processes and the second group of processes are In a two-dimensional matrix and to the direction perpendicular, project management system comprising a display means for displaying by placing the items is disclosed.
JP 2004-192125 A

  However, the system disclosed in Patent Document 1 only develops a project in two dimensions in two directions: a process in which a project is divided in time series and a process obtained by dividing a thinking process. However, it was not sufficient as a system for describing business activities involving complex factors.

  There are two factors behind the lack of prior art. One is due to differences in the nature of project management and program management. In project management, the constraints are relatively clear, and the project goals are usually not changed. On the other hand, in program management, the boundaries of the target areas are unclear, and the plan contents and goals for achieving the objectives may be changed according to changes in the business environment. Second, conventional software systems for program management are designed to be used from the stage when the plan is materialized, and can handle information required at the upstream stage where there are many ambiguous factors. This is because there is not. Conventional software systems for project management mainly function in the management stage to effectively and efficiently handle information such as materials, machines, labor, processes, and costs. The existing program management software system expands these functions so that information on multiple projects can be managed centrally, and it can hardly handle the information required in the upstream planning stage.

  Many of the businesses handled by program management are complex over the long term, and there are situations where factors that were difficult to predict at the initial stage of the business plan become obvious due to changes in social conditions, etc., and the business plan must be revised. Therefore, the program management support system can handle information necessary for planning at an upstream stage that cannot be handled by a conventional project management software system, and can also handle information related to changes in the business environment as the business progresses. Required.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention according to claim 1 is a chart for organizing, storing, and displaying a program and various related information when business activities are carried out by program management, BV chart editing means for editing the business purpose and business environment analysis of the program and the BV chart describing the business content, and TR chart editing for editing the TR chart describing the internal and external business environment of the program in groups Means, SH chart editing means for editing the SH chart describing the relationship between the program and its surrounding stakeholders, and GP chart editing means for editing the GP chart describing the projects and tasks constituting the program.

  In addition, the present invention is provided with a mechanism in which the matters described in one chart are reflected in other charts. With such a mechanism, when a user inputs one chart, the input is performed in the other charts. Since it is aroused, omission of description of the chart is prevented.

  In addition, since the present invention has a mechanism for describing information relating to risk in the TR chart, SH chart, and GP chart, the risk of the entire program can be referred to as appropriate.

  Further, according to the present invention, the TR chart is provided with a mechanism for calling a question for extracting information to be described according to the type of program, and can provide input support to the user.

  Further, the present invention is provided with a means for performing a search and the like, and can extract necessary information immediately, which is convenient.

  Further, according to the present invention, when describing a BV chart, a TR chart, an SH chart, and a GP chart, a collection of cases such as questions and templates can be appropriately called from the database according to the type of program. Since it has a simple configuration, it can be used for user input support.

  First, the concept of the program management of the present invention will be described more specifically. The “program” referred to in the present invention is a large-scale, long-term or small-scale complicated such as infrastructure construction such as airport, railway network, highway network maintenance, overseas factory expansion, urban redevelopment, new field product development, etc. It points to a new business. Such a program, for example, in the case of an urban redevelopment project, has many problems to be solved, such as environmental problems, opposition movements of residents, approval and approval by the government, etc., and each is intricately intertwined. In order to solve these problems, various aspects such as technical aspects, social aspects, economic aspects, environmental aspects, etc. are examined, and the problems, value indicators, and risks inherent in the business activities are examined. It is necessary to clarify the stakes as much as possible. Furthermore, since changes over time, such as soaring building materials and a decline in real estate value, which could not have been anticipated during the project implementation period, may occur over time, a mechanism for flexibly responding to such changes is required.

  For such a large-scale, long-term, or small-scale complex project (program), “Program Management”, which has been proposed in recent years, subdivides the program into projects and manages them in an integrated manner. By doing so, it is a feature to respond flexibly. The term “program” used in the present invention is used in the above-mentioned meaning unless otherwise specified.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  The system as described above is constituted by a known computer having a CPU, a RAM, a storage device (storage means), an input device (input means), a display device (display means), a communication device, and the like. The CPU stores various processing programs stored in the storage area of the storage device, various instructions input via the input device or the communication device, or various data corresponding to the instructions in the RAM. Various processes are executed according to various processing programs stored in the RAM according to the data, and the processing results are temporarily stored in the RAM and output to a display device or the like.

  In the system configuration described above, BV-CE5, TR-CE6, SH-CE7, GP-CE8, which are the basic plan concept chart groups, are the core of the program management chart creation support system according to the present invention. . These CEs (Chart Editors) are displayed on display means such as a display of a well-known computer system and can be edited by input means such as a keyboard and a mouse. The contents to be described in the four charts in each of these CE (Chart Editor) will be described using a BV chart, a TR chart, an SH chart, and a GP chart.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the correlation between these four charts. Using these four charts, the program management chart is completed through the following operations 0) to 7). A more detailed chart usage method will be described later.
0) Describe business idea, related business environment, and solution on BV chart
1) Reflect the solution in the TR chart
2) Describe internal and external business environments related to ideas
3) Describe the process to realize the solution
4) Describe the parties involved in the project and process
5) Describe the internal and external business environment related to SH
6) Reflect internal and external business environment related to the solution
7) Describe the parties related to the business environment
8) Describe work processes related to the relevant parties Note that each chart has a mechanism for inputting information on risks from various viewpoints, and the risks entered in each chart are summarized in a risk table. It is configured.

FIG. 3 shows a BV chart screen of the program management chart creation support system according to the present invention. In the present invention, the concept of “nodes” and “links” is used when the charts are structurally described, and these will also be described with reference to the BV chart. This concept is also used when explaining other charts. In the present invention, the concept of “node” may be considered as an input frame or an input field, and a link is a line connecting them. For example, in the “Business Description (Solution)” on the right side of FIG. 3, a frame describing “department and surrounding redevelopment”, and a frame describing “Construction area = 2.5 hectares Construction capacity = 120,000 m ² ”. Each one becomes a node. In addition, a rectangular frame under the “business description (solution)” surrounding the entire frame is also considered as one node. The “link” is a line connecting a frame described as “department and surrounding redevelopment” and a frame described as “shopping mall with T department store as a core”. Note that some “nodes” and “links” are not necessarily represented on the chart screen but are handled internally by the computer system of the present invention. For example, a link can be established between a plurality of charts, but such a link is not particularly expressed on the chart screen. Since each chart according to the present invention is described in such a “node” and “link” graph structure, it is easy to perform computer processing for editing the chart or for referring to the chart. It is easy for the user to understand intuitively.

  Based on the above, FIG. 3 will be described. At the top of the BV chart, there is a business purpose node 21 in which the business purpose of the program is entered. On the left side of the BV chart, there are framework nodes that describe the internal and external business environments. The business environment analysis is organized into four nodes: S (strength), W (weakness), O (opportunity), and T (threat). The node is described. This node is called SWOT analysis nodes 22-25.

  The right side of the BV chart is a business content node 26, and each of the nodes in which “department and peripheral redevelopment” is entered is called a BV node. The BV node includes an upper BV node 27 and a lower BV node 28, which indicate a hierarchical structure. In FIG. 3, the nodes marked with “T department store and surrounding redevelopment” are higher-level nodes. ) ”Is a subordinate node. These are connected by a line called a BV link so that the hierarchical structure is clearly shown. Since the BV chart has such a hierarchical relationship and is displayed in the BV chart diagram, the user can grasp the hierarchical relationship of business contents sensuously and is convenient. . Further, the BV chart is provided with template calling means for calling a case or a case template.

  FIG. 4 shows a TR chart screen of the program management chart creation support system according to the present invention. The TR node in the TR chart describes the internal / external environment of the business, and is mainly composed of the TR center node 30 and the TR group nodes 31 to 36. The TR center node 30 describes a TR node related to the internal environment, and the business purpose written in the business purpose node of the BV chart is automatically input to the TR center node 30. The TR group node is a node for classifying and organizing TR nodes related to the external environment, mainly a node 31 of “next generation technology / alternatives”, a node 32 of “competitors / new entrants”, The node is divided into six nodes: a node 33 for “distribution / supplier”, a node 34 for “market / customer”, a node 35 for “regulation / economic environment”, and a node 36 for “location / peripheral environment”. Thus, on the chart of the TR chart, since the TR node is displayed so as to be bundled with the TR group node, there is an advantage that the user can easily grasp the general condition of the external business environment intuitively.

  Furthermore, the TR group node is bundled by three framework nodes 37 to 39, which are TR framework nodes. This is to clarify the position of the TR group. These three frameworks are the Competitor, Value Chain, and Constraint. Under the Competitor, the “Next Generation Technology / Alternative” node 31 and the “Competition / New entrant” node 32 are under the Value Chain. “Distributor / Supplier” node 33 and “Market / Customer” node 34, and “Regulation / Economic environment” node 35 and “Location / environment” node 36 under Constraint. Yes. The TR node, the TR group node, and the TR framework node have a three-level hierarchical relationship as described above, and the user can easily grasp the position of each node, which is convenient.

  FIG. 5 shows an SH chart screen of the program management chart creation support system according to the present invention. In the SH chart, stakeholder nodes 40a to 40q are mainly described. The stakeholder nodes 40a to 40q represent stakeholder names on the chart. The stakeholder nodes 40a to 40q have “type name”, “group name”, “importance” as their attribute values along with the stakeholder names. Is stored. Although not shown in FIG. 5, stakeholder nodes can be grouped and organized by this group name. This group name corresponds to the group described in the TR chart.

  The comment nodes are indicated by 41a to 41c in the figure. In the figure, the comments “5 are passive” and “10” are given to the “land owner” of the stakeholder node 40k, and “ A comment “5 volunteers” is added to the “owner who volunteers” by the comment node function. As shown in the stake node 40k, the node to which the comment node is attached is provided with a mark at the upper right corner or the lower right corner of the node. Since such a mark is provided, it is convenient for the user to quickly find a commented node. Note that the function of the comment node is given not only to the nodes on the SH chart but also to nodes on other charts, and the user can use the comment node for writing notes as appropriate, which is very convenient.

  In FIG. 5, a line is provided between the stakeholder nodes 40a to 40q. This line is a link indicating the relationship (cooperation, conflict, indirect, etc.) between the stakeholders, and the relationship between the stakeholders (cooperation) depending on the line type. , Confrontation, indirect, etc.), and the importance of the relationship between stakeholders is shown with thick and thin lines. Such a link allows the user to easily understand the correlation between stakeholders at a glance.

  FIG. 6 shows a GP chart screen of the program management chart creation support system according to the present invention. Program management is based on the idea that a program is broken down into projects and each project is broken down into more detailed tasks, and a GP chart is created according to such a way of thinking. A project is described by a project node 50 and, as shown in the chart of FIG. 6, “union organization”, “administration response”, “land owner response”, “facility plan”, “business” for each column in the first row. Each project node is expanded as “financial plan”. The task node 51 is expanded under the project node 50 after the second row of each column. In other words, under the project of “union organization”, in the order of progress, “establishment of social gathering by volunteers”, “consideration of local organization”, “preparation for starting redevelopment study group”, “examination of right conversion prospect”, It is shown that each task of “establishment of redevelopment preparatory association” is lined up. In the chart of FIG. 6, the line connecting the nodes is a work flow link and describes the predecessor / successor relationship of the task.

Table 1 Data structure of BV chart

Table 2 Data structure of TR chart

Table 3 SH chart data structure

Table 4 GP chart data structure

Hereinafter, a detailed usage method of each chart of the program management chart creation support system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 7 is an initial screen of the BV chart immediately after starting the system according to the present invention. The business purpose (initiation / business needs) is described in the “business purpose” node at the top of the initial screen. In the present embodiment, the business purpose will be described using “UTN station redevelopment project” as an example. Next, internal and external business environments are described in the four business environment analysis framework nodes on the left side of the BV chart. Internal and external business environment analysis nodes are organized and described in four business environment analysis framework nodes of S (Strength), W (Weakness), O (Opportunity), and T (Threat). , S (strength) “rebuilding is possible”, “floor ratio can be relaxed”, etc. W (weakness) “T department store activation is necessary”, “parking space shortage / maintenance required”, etc. For O (Opportunity), “Necessary to upgrade the apartment in front of the station”, “Replacement time of T department store”, “There are few owners of nearby shopping land”, etc. The results of the SWOT analysis will be described. The business content node on the right side of the BV chart is a BV node describing a specific business content (solution), and “department and peripheral redevelopment” is described in the BV node.

  Fig. 8 shows how to input to such a node specifically, and the dialog box titled "Edit Solution Item" in the figure is a form for input to the BV node. It becomes. Such a dialog box is configured to be called by, for example, bringing the cursor (mouse pointer) to a non-input part of the business content (solution) node and clicking the right button of the mouse.

  In this dialog box, the “title” is a portion that is actually displayed on the BV chart, and “maintenance of a multilevel parking lot” is input in the example of the figure. “Level” indicates a hierarchy in the BV node, and level 1 is the highest hierarchy. In the example of the figure, the node described as “T department store and surrounding redevelopment” is level 1, and the BV node described as “maintenance of multistory parking lot” is level 2. Since the BV chart has such a hierarchical relationship and is displayed in the BV chart diagram, the user can grasp the hierarchical relationship of business contents sensuously and is convenient. .

  The “Contents” and “Setting grounds” boxes are places where more specific solutions and grounds for setting the solutions are described, respectively. To use "and" parking is essential for attracting customers from the suburbs. " If there is no problem after confirming the contents of all items in the dialog box, the node is set by pressing the “OK” button. When the “Cancel” button is pressed, input to the node is canceled. The method of using the “OK” button and the “Cancel” button in the dialog box is the same for the dialog boxes that appear in the following description.

  FIG. 9 is a TR chart screen of the program management chart creation support system according to the present invention. In the TR chart, items to be filled in are determined to some extent depending on the type of program such as urban redevelopment projects. For the purpose of user input support, preset question items are called from the template and displayed on the TR chart. It has come to be. The user can fill in the items to be described in the TR node simply by answering the displayed question items. In addition, such input support allows the user to prevent omission of entry.

  Question items are set by storing the question items accumulated in the past urban redevelopment projects in the CB-MS (Case Base Management System) 2 and KB-MS (Knowledge Base Management System) 3. Can be done by calling. In addition, if there are questions that can be reused in the future from the examples that are currently being created, they will be accumulated in the CB-MS (Case Base Management System) 2 and KB-MS (Knowledge Base Management System) 3 as appropriate. It can be used for subsequent use.

  In the dialog box titled “Answer to Question” in FIG. 9, a situation is shown in which the question item “What is the status of nearby commercial land?” Is answered. This dialog box is set so that it can be called by moving the mouse pointer over the node that says "What is the status of nearby commercial areas?" And clicking the right mouse button there. For question items in the dialog box, the user inputs in the input field of the dialog box. In this example, “The parking lot could not be secured and it seems to be pushed by a suburban store. Neighboring commercial owners are keenly aware of the need for activation measures.” The contents are directly reflected in the TR node. FIG. 10 shows a state in which the user answers a further question. In this way, the user advances the description of the TR node by sequentially answering the question items. FIG. 27 shows a TR chart in which the response contents are reflected. In this way, the user can fill in the minimum number of nodes by simply answering the ready-made question items, which is very convenient. Note that the TR node can be added by the user as appropriate in addition to the form of answering the question item.

  By pressing the “Set as work subject” button in the dialog box of FIG. 9, the dialog box titled “Stake Holder Form” shown in FIG. 11 is called and displayed. From the “all stakeholder list” in this dialog box, select a stakeholder related to the input node. When a stakeholder is selected in this dialog box, the selected item is reflected in the SH chart. In this way, the TR chart TR node can be associated with the SH chart node, and the input to one chart is reflected in the other charts. It can be edited so that it does not fall out.

  On the chart of the TR chart, TR nodes are displayed as grouped into TR group nodes. Such a grouping display has the advantage that the user can easily grasp the outline of the external business environment intuitively in the TR chart. The items for grouping are arbitrary, but for example, as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the TR group node is the node 31 of “next generation technology / alternatives”, “competitor / new entry” by default. "Node" node 32, "distributor / supplier" node 33, "market / customer" node 34, "regulatory / economic environment" node 35, and "location / peripheral environment" node 36. It is divided. Other group nodes can be added if necessary. FIG. 12 shows a dialog box used when a TR group node is added to the TR chart. Invoking the dialog box also depends on a known method.

  The dialog box shown in FIG. 13 is for adding and editing risks. This dialog box is used to input comments on the risks contained in each TR node, SH node, project node and task node on the GP chart, and the significance of the risk as a measure of importance. It is for keeping.

  The importance parameter set here is set to be searchable by a search function or the like. For example, by searching for a TR node having a risk importance level of 1, the target node is highlighted and displayed. Since the system according to the present invention has such a search function, it is convenient that the user can immediately find a node corresponding to the risk information he wants to know.

  FIG. 14 shows a dialog box for adding / editing a comment. This is a dialog box for the function to add comments to each TR node as necessary. When the contents edited on this screen are attached to a node, a mark indicating that the node has a comment is added. Configured to appear on the node. Note that the dialog box for adding / editing comments is not limited to nodes on the TR chart, but can be used on nodes of other charts. By using such a function, the user can easily attach a memo comment to various nodes, which is convenient.

  FIG. 15 shows an SH chart screen of the program management chart creation support system according to the present invention. When the program management chart creation support system according to the present invention is used for land redevelopment projects as in this example, stakeholders such as “land owners”, “general contractors”, “administrators”, “mayors”, etc. Is called so that “owner”, “general contractor”, “administrator in charge”, “mayor”, etc. appear on the initial screen as shown in FIG. In addition to providing such a template from the initial stage of system construction, the stakeholder accumulated in the past urban redevelopment project examples is the CB-MS (Case Base Management System) 2 and KB-MS (Knowledge Base). Management system) 3 can be further expanded by sequentially storing. In the program management chart creation support system of the present invention, since a template in which stakeholders are registered in advance is set, the user can save input and prevent input leakage, which is convenient.

  FIG. 16 shows an SH chart in which stakeholders are connected by links. When linking links in this way, it is possible to perform the link linking work efficiently and without leakage by using the information on the TR chart that has been created so far.

  FIG. 17 shows a “connector setting” dialog box used when connecting links between stakeholders, and is set so that it can be called by an appropriate operation of the system. In this dialog box, the relationship with the link destination node can be selected from “conflict”, “cooperation”, “indirect”, and the like. Also, the importance of links between nodes can be set. The line type and line thickness of the link on the SH chart are determined by the “relationship with the link destination node” and the “link importance” set in this dialog box. If the "relationship with the link destination node" is an "indirect" relationship, it is a dotted line, if it is in a "conflict" relationship, it is a solid double arrow, and if it is in a "cooperation" relationship, it is a solid single arrow. In addition, when there is an “other” relationship other than these relationships, it is indicated by a solid line without an arrow. The “link importance” is indicated by the thickness of the line. Since it is displayed in this way, on the SH chart, the user can intuitively grasp the relationship between the nodes visually. Therefore, for example, in FIG. 16, the “administrative contact person” node and the “redevelopment coordinator” node are linked by solid arrows, which represents a “conflict” relationship, The “neighbors” node and the “owner” node are represented by dotted arrows, which represent an “indirect” “cooperation” relationship. Thus, in the SH chart, the user can easily understand the correlation between stakeholders at a glance by the line type of the link.

  FIG. 18 shows a dialog box for adding and editing a stakeholder node, and this dialog box is also configured to be called in a given method. With this dialog box, a new stakeholder can be added as necessary on the SH chart. In the “node name” field of the dialog box, the name of the stakeholder can be entered, and in the “type name” field, the type name can be entered. In the “Group Name” column, a group name can be selected by grouping in the TR chart, and the importance level of the stakeholder can be set in the “Importance” column. It has become.

  FIG. 19 is an initial screen of the GP chart of the program management chart creation support system according to the present invention. This GP chart is configured based on the idea that a program is decomposed into a plurality of projects, and the further decomposed project is decomposed into a plurality of tasks. In accordance with this way of thinking, each project node is expanded for each column of the first row of the GP chart, and task nodes are expanded under the project node after the second row of each column. Each node is connected by a work flow link that describes the predecessor / successor relationship of the task.

  On the initial screen shown in FIG. 19, a related reference case or case template for a city redevelopment project can be called from a CB-MS (Case Base Management System) 2 or a KB-MS (Knowledge Base Management System) 3. FIG. 20 shows a state in which the case template is called. As shown in FIG. 20, in the case template, under the project node “union organization”, task nodes such as “initiation of redevelopment”, “establishment of social gathering by volunteers”, “consideration of local organization” work, etc. It is deployed while being connected by a flow link. These projects and tasks are recorded in the case template as typical projects and tasks in urban redevelopment projects, but if there are examples of projects and tasks that can be reused in the future, The data can be stored in a CB-MS (Case Base Management System) 2 or a KB-MS (Knowledge Base Management System) 3 as appropriate, and can be used for the next and subsequent times. Since such a case template can be used in the GP chart, the user can save input and can prevent input leakage, which is convenient.

  FIG. 21 shows a dialog box for adding and editing a project node, and this dialog box is configured to be called by an appropriate operation. In this dialog box, enter the name of the project in “Title”. Also, by pressing the “Set Subject for Work” button in this dialog box, the dialog box titled “Stake Holder Form” shown in FIG. 11 is called and displayed. From the “all stakeholder list” in this dialog box, select a stakeholder related to the input node. If a stakeholder is selected in this dialog box, the selected item is reflected in the GP chart.

  FIG. 22 shows a dialog box for adding and editing task nodes. This dialog box is set so that it can be called by an appropriate operation of the system. In the dialog box, “Title” allows the name of the task to be entered, and “Estimation Period” allows the input of the task execution period in increments of one week. From this dialog box, you can enter “work contents” and “required resources”.

  A new dialog box is opened by pressing the “Set question to obtain necessary information” button. A newly opened dialog box is shown in FIG. By setting this dialog box, the task can be set in association with the TR node. In the “TR node” column, the task is assigned to any of the groups (“next generation technology / alternatives”, “distribution / supplier”, “regulation / economic environment”, etc.) set in the TR node. Whether to belong or not is set.

  In addition, new questions entered in the “Question Contents” column are added as new questions by pressing the right arrow button in the dialog box, and are used as new questions on the TR chart. Yes. That is, by setting a group of “TR node” and a new question content in this dialog box and pressing the OK button, TR in which a new question is described in the TR group node in the TR chart. A node appears. On the TR chart, the user is prompted to answer a new question, and when the user answers the new question, necessary information is extracted from the user, and the information is reflected in the chart without omission. . As described above, the system according to the present invention is provided with a mechanism for correlating the task node of the GP chart and the TR node of the TR chart, so that it is convenient to prevent omission of description by the user.

  FIG. 24 shows a dialog box for “edit connector” used when linking tasks, and is set so that it can be called by an appropriate operation of the system. In this dialog box, “information passed by flow”, that is, information passed between tasks can be described.

  FIG. 25 shows an “insert line comment” dialog box used to add a comment to each line in the GP chart. This dialog box is also set so that it can be called by a predetermined operation of the system.

  As described above, in the present invention, project nodes, task nodes, and work flow links can be added and edited as necessary. Therefore, the program management chart creation support system according to the present invention can easily modify a business plan. It will be flexible and will be able to handle complex business plans over the long term.

  As has been seen so far, in the program management chart creation support system according to the present invention, each program is analyzed from four viewpoints and described in the BV chart, TR chart, SH chart, and GP chart. Since it is configured so that the program can be seen from the viewpoint, it is possible to grasp one program from a cross-sectional and a bird's-eye view. In addition, when describing TR charts, SH charts, and GP charts, it is configured so that a collection of cases such as questions and templates can be called from the database as appropriate according to the type of program. Can be used for input support. In addition, the program management chart creation support system according to the present invention is provided with a mechanism in which items described in one chart are reflected in other charts by setting in a dialog box, etc. When the user inputs one chart, the input is prompted for the other charts, so that omission of description of the chart is prevented. Also, the user can inflate ideas and organize data while switching from one chart input screen to another chart input screen.

Hereinafter, an example of how to utilize the program management chart creation support system according to the present invention will be shown in time series. It should be noted that the program management chart creation support system according to the present invention is not limited to such a utilization method.
A. Description of BV chart (BV chart is a chart for encouraging ideas for solutions through business environment analysis.)
1) First, describe the business purpose based on your ideas. This can be simple.
2) Describe business environment items (business environment analysis nodes) in the framework nodes of each business environment (SWOT) analysis for the business environment considered for the time being according to the business purpose. The business environment analysis node describes a title, its contents, related stakeholders, related tasks, and related TR chart questions. Stakeholders are associated with SH charts, tasks with GP charts, and questions with TR chart nodes. Also describe comments and risks. The comment is a free description related to the contents of the described node, and the contents and importance of the risk are described. (The same applies to nodes in other charts shown below)
3) For the contents described in the business environment analysis framework node and the business environment analysis node described in it, come up with ideas that increase strengths, overcome weaknesses, take advantage of opportunities, and eliminate threats In the first stage, the solution content is described in the business content node. (From CB-MS, a template suitable for the business purpose may be selected and cited.)
4) In the solution node, in addition to the solution item name (title), the level indicating the hierarchical relationship of each content, the content of the solution, the basis for setting it, the subject related to the work and the question for obtaining the necessary information are described The former is related to the SH chart and the latter is related to the TR chart. In addition, comments and risks are written in each node. Each solution node is connected by a line with a connector, and can describe their hierarchical relationship.
5) With regard to the set solution, it is possible to perform a business balance simulation within the range that can be understood at that time. By pressing the button of “Business Evaluation System”, it is possible to call an external module that simulates business characteristics (business profit / loss and cash flow based on preconditions).

Although the following charts may actually start from anywhere, a typical procedure is described here.
B. GP chart (GP chart is a chart for describing a work process for realizing a solution.)
6) Describe the GP chart based on the solution content set in the BV chart. (When the solution plan is called from the CB-MS in the BV chart, the chart as the template is already called.)
7) Write and add necessary tasks based on the solution set in the BV chart. In addition, the project is derived and described in the GP chart by work such as organizing related stakeholders. In the tasks described in the GP chart, in addition to the task name (title), the time required for the task, the work content, the required resources, the subject (stakeholder) involved in the task, and a question for obtaining necessary information It is set and associated with the SH chart by the former and with the TR chart by the latter. Each task node can describe comments and risks. In the project node, in addition to the project name (title), a subject (stakeholder) related to the work is described and associated with the SH chart.
C. SH chart (SH chart is a chart for describing relationships between stakeholders)
8) In the operations so far, the nodes of the SH chart are automatically described by the system based on the stakeholders described so far. Here, the stakeholder described is listed, the contents are described, and possible stakeholder is additionally described as necessary. In the stakeholder node, a stakeholder name (node name), a stakeholder attribute (type name), a group name on a TR chart (to be described later), and the importance of how to relate to the program are described.
In addition, comments and risks can be described as described above. (Further, potential stakeholders can be additionally described by external database search.)
9) Describe the relationship of each stakeholder node with a line (connector) using the SH chart. The connector describes the relationship with the link destination node as conflict, cooperation, indirect, other, etc., and the importance of the link (strength, weakness, etc.).
D. TR chart (TR chart is a chart to identify the business environment when implementing the solution.)
10) When the template solution and program are called on the BV chart, and when the “question for obtaining necessary information” is set in the node description of each chart, the nodes on the TR chart are already It will be described.
11) The nodes of the TR chart are divided into group nodes in the initial setting. Each group node consists of 3 framework TR framework nodes and 6 groups designed to make it easier to accurately grasp the external business environment, that is, next-generation technologies / alternatives, competitors / newcomers, Distribution / supplier as Value Chain, market / customer, regulation / economic environment as Constraint, location / environment. Each node of the TR chart will be described while thinking about the business environment that should be considered based on these groups. The TR chart group nodes have the above-mentioned contents by default, but these can be changed / deleted / added to appropriate groups depending on the business objectives, solutions, and program contents. .
12) The TR chart is described in a format that responds to questions described by a template or the like. (Question function for extracting information from users. When CB-MS data is enriched, the idea can be supported.) The description contents of the TR node include the contents of the business environment as an answer to the question and work. Is related to the SH chart by the former and to the GP chart by the latter. In addition, as with other charts, comments and risks can be described.
13) In the central part of the TR chart, the business purpose described in the BV chart is described as a group node. In addition, in this business purpose group node, a solution item conceived from each external business environment and an internal business environment are described.
E. Management module (eg risk table)
The “program” described by the four charts is searched, analyzed and evaluated from various aspects by the management module and reflected in the program. (For example, a risk table is a chart for extracting and organizing risks described in each node of each chart and examining countermeasures.)
14) The risk written in each chart can be extracted as a risk table.
15) Each risk item is listed in the risk table, and the described chart name, risk content, and risk importance are listed. While taking a list of risk tables, consider countermeasures against each risk, and if necessary, reflect those countermeasures in the GP chart task. If the risk remains, estimate the magnitude of the risk and reflect it in the business balance simulation.
F. Spiral-up by repeating, adding, rewriting, and refining descriptions * By repetitively performing the above work, rewriting, refining, and adding nodes and information based on information that becomes clear By doing, spy rough up.
