Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the control of the software date by displaying a milestone card into a schedule, completion or N.B. column and at the same time to quantitatively recognize a delay situation by adding a delayed display column. CONSTITUTION:The software results are displayed via a milestone card. The day, the week, etc., of the corresponding section are displayed on a 1st column together with a milestone card to be completed completion set into a 2nd column, a completed milestone card set into a 3rd column, and an uncompleted milestone card having a passed delivery date set into a 4th column respectively. Thus the period control is recognize at a glance. In an application mode a milestone card 10 is displayed in a section including the setting instant of a schedule column 30. The card 10 is shifted to a completion column 40 and displayed here when the completion of the card 10 is approved before a due period. The card 10 is shifted to an N.B. column 50 for display if the completion of the card 10 is not approved even after the due period. Thus the delay of completion is known at a glance. Then the card 10 is set opposite in 1:1 to the software result and the display items are written.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to date management in software for various processors, and particularly to improvements that facilitate date management in each development process.

<Conventional technology> In the past, for small-scale software, everything, including deadlines, was left to the developer. However, when the software to be developed becomes large-scale, many developers develop their own areas of responsibility and combine them into a system. Therefore, management work has become necessary for software development, and it has become necessary for this manager to know the deadline for the developed software.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> As far as the present applicant knows, software deadline management has traditionally been managed by posting notices on a board for each process. However, since each process is based on the developer's self-reporting, there was a problem that this alone was insufficient. That is, unlike hardware, the contents of software cannot be seen, and even if the developer believes that the software is complete, it is often not completed, making it difficult for administrators to manage it.

The present invention has solved these problems, and aims to provide an apparatus and a method for easily managing software deadlines in each development process.

Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention achieves the above object by creating a milestone card that corresponds one-to-one with a software product, and dividing it into a predetermined period, and determining the start time or end time of the period. a first loss that displays at least one of the above, a second column that displays the milestone card in a category that includes the period set as the milestone of the deliverable according to the period categorized in this first column, and the achievement. If the product is approved as completed before the milestone period, the corresponding milestone card of 2a is moved and displayed in the category corresponding to the milestone period of the product. and a fourth column for moving and displaying the corresponding milestone card of the 21st ffl in the classification corresponding to the milestone time of the deliverable if the completion is not approved even after the completion of the deliverable. It is.

Functions Each component of the present invention has the following functions. Milestone cards display software artifacts. 11th fl
indicates the day, week, month, etc. to which the category belongs.

In the 2nd I column, attach milestone cards for scheduled completion. Attach the completed milestone card to the third column.

The 411th attaches an unfinished milestone card that is overdue. In this way, software deadline management can be done at a glance.

<Example> The present invention will be explained below using the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, the table may be prepared on a blackboard with pockets, or it may be prepared on a display screen such as a CRT, and the milestone cards may be displayed and erased using a mouse or touch panel. corresponds one-to-one with the software deliverable, and has items for displaying the expected completion date 11, the name of the cutlery 12, and the name of the person in charge of development 13, as shown in Figure 2, for example. 0
Month, day [20] is divided into predetermined periods such as weekly and monthly, and the start time 21 or end time 2 of the period
2. Here, the period between -month is used in weeks. Schedule 11
130 displays the milestone card member 10 in a category that includes the period set as the milestone of the deliverable according to the period divided by month and day 11120. The completion period 40 indicates that the deliverable is approved as completed before the milestone period. When the corresponding milestone card 10 of the schedule a30 is moved and displayed in the category corresponding to the milestone time of the relevant deliverable. Be careful [5
0 moves and displays the corresponding milestone card 10 of the schedule a30 in the category corresponding to the milestone period of the deliverable if the deliverable is not approved as completed even after the milestone period has elapsed. As shown in the figure, these columns are arranged horizontally in the order of month/day 1ItI20, schedule 1 [130, completed fence 40, and caution required [150], and vertically there are a predetermined number of pockets into which milestone cards 10 can be inserted in order of period. It is being

A method of using the device configured in this way will be described next.

First, milestone card 10 is scheduled in the category that includes the time set as the milestone of the deliverable. The milestone card 10 of Schedule 1t130 is moved to Completed 111140 and displayed in the category corresponding to the period. In addition, if the deliverable is not approved as completed even after the milestone period has passed, please note that the milestone card for the scheduled 1ffi30 in the category corresponding to the milestone period of the deliverable is n50.
Go to and view. You can see the delay at a glance.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the milestone card 10 displayed in the caution period 50. A delay display 14 is provided between the scheduled completion date 11 and the fence of the cutlery 12, and a red line is added, for example, one by one each time the period determined by the month and date 1120 elapses.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating the case where the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 is used for software date management. First, a milestone is set from the blade (310).

Next, deliverables such as design documents corresponding to the milestones are prepared (S20), and design review <DR> is performed based on the required specifications.
: When something is made according to the design calligraphy, it is examined whether it works according to the specifications) or walk-through (W'r": When something is made according to the design calligraphy, the people involved consider whether it works according to the specifications. (S30). If it is recognized that it does not work, the milestone is reset (S40). If it is approved that it will work, it is treated as completed (S50).

FIG. 5 is a hierarchical display diagram of the design document displayed as the cutlery 12. High-level concepts include n-function design documents such as display R functions and operation functions, middle-level concepts include basic design documents such as alarm generation and alarm messages, and lower-level concepts include detailed design documents that are specific programs. There is.

<Effects of the Invention> As explained above, according to the present invention, the milestone card 10 is divided into scheduled A30 and completed 1!1 depending on the production status.
140 or in the caution area 5o, the software date management can be easily performed. Further, if a delay display [114 is provided as in the embodiment, the delay situation can be quantitatively grasped.
