Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] A device that automatically creates a work schedule for a project manager, etc., which displays work items registered or input in advance in a menu format and is subject to one edit creation. A work schedule creation processing device is disclosed in which work schedules are displayed on the same screen and a work schedule without any errors can be created through simple menu selection operations.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a work schedule creation processing device that uses a data processing device to easily create work schedules for project managers and the like.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, leagues and the like manage software development.

When creating a work schedule based on a development plan.

I had to come up with the work items myself, manually fill in the dates and work items on a sheet of paper, and create an eight-work schedule.

Until now, there has been no device that uses data processing equipment to create work schedules for project managers, etc., and it is expected that creating work schedules using data processing equipment will require complicated operations such as inputting data into a word processor. Therefore, there were doubts about its practical usefulness.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

When creating work schedules manually, there are the following problems.

■ You must come up with work items yourself or prepare materials such as a work item list.

Necessary work items may be omitted.

■ It is necessary to manage the period required to complete each work item, and since this management is complicated, an incorrect work schedule may be made due to an error in the number of required days.

■ It takes time to create a work schedule, and especially when changing the schedule such as adding two more jobs, it requires a great deal of effort because all subsequent scheduled work dates must be corrected.

An object of the present invention is to provide a device for creating a work schedule with simple operations, and to solve the above-mentioned problems caused by manual work.

[Means for solving problems]

FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an example of the basic configuration of the present invention.

A work item selection section for selecting the work inside by inputting from the keyboard 10.

14 is a schedule date selection section for selecting the time or date for scheduling the selected work item.

15 is a schedule editing display unit that edits and displays a work schedule based on input information from the work item selection unit 13 and schedule date selection unit 14; 16 is a schedule editing display unit that edits and displays work schedules based on input information from the work item selection unit 13 and schedule date selection unit 14; 17 is a work schedule table that stores schedule information of work items according to time-series information of time or day; 18 is a screen buffer that holds information corresponding to the display contents of the display screen; 19 is a work schedule table that stores schedule information of work items in correspondence with each other; 22 is a selected work item menu display area in which a menu of work items is set by the selected work item display unit 12; 20 is a work schedule display area in which a work schedule edited by the schedule editing display unit 15 is set; 21 is a display area; represents a printer that outputs a completed work schedule.

In the following explanation, in order to simplify the explanation, it is assumed that the minimum time unit of the schedule is one day.

The same applies to other time units.

In the work item table 16, work items necessary for carrying out the project, which are determined in advance by the project type, are registered and stored. Also.

Corresponding to each work item, the number of days required to complete the work is stored. These pieces of information can be changed as necessary by a registration means (not shown).

The selected work item display unit 12 sets the contents of the two-work item table 16 in the selected work item menu display area 19, and displays the work items to be selected in the schedule in a menu format. At the same time, the schedule editing display section 15 displays 9
Based on the contents of the work schedule table 17, the work schedule up to that point is displayed in the work schedule display area 20.
is set and displayed on the display 21. If schedule information has not yet been set in the 1-work schedule table 17, only date information from the project start date will be displayed.

When selection information is input from the keyboard 10 according to the menu set and displayed in the selection work item menu display area 19, the second work item selection section 13 selects.

The schedule editing display unit 15 is notified of the work item. Also, the schedule date selection section 14.

When the schedule date of the selected work item is input from the keyboard 10, the information is notified to the schedule editing display section 15.

The schedule editing display section 15 manages the schedule information in the 1-work schedule table 17, and edits the contents of the 2-work schedule table 17 into 1 based on the information from the 2-work item selection section 13 and the schedule date selection section 14.
It is re-edited and set in the 1st work schedule display area 20, and the 2nd work schedule is displayed on the display 21F.

The completed work schedule is output to the printer 22 in a format similar to that displayed on the display 21.

[Effect]

What is the selected work item menu and the edited work schedule? 1 For example, while viewing the 1 work item menu and the work schedule using a cursor that is simultaneously displayed on the left and right sides of the screen of the display 21 and indicating the designated position on the screen, , you can schedule it.

Therefore, a work schedule can be quickly drawn up through simple operations.

In addition, in the 1 work item table 16, typical work items and the required number of days determined by the type of project can be registered in advance, and the work items are displayed in a list in menu format. This prevents work from being overlooked. If only the work start date is specified, the work period is automatically set based on the required number of days stored in the 1 work item table 16, thereby eliminating mistakes in setting nine periods.

〔Example〕

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining one embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 3 shows a processing explanatory diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 2, the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1 correspond to those shown in FIG. 30 is a work item cursor movement counter used for selecting a work item; 31 is a work schedule cursor movement counter used for indicating the date on which the work item is to be scheduled; 32 is a display screen; 33 is a menu selection for the work item. A work item cursor display 34 is used to select a schedule date, and 35 is a cursor key for inputting movement instruction information for the work item cursor display 33 and the work schedule cursor display 34.

Two embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to one drawing.

The processing will be explained according to its processing operation. The processing numbers ■ to ■ in the following explanation are the numbers ■ to ■ shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
It corresponds to

(2) Read work item table information stored, for example, on a floppy disk, and set each work item and the number of days required to complete the work in the work item table 16 on memory. Also.

If it is a modification of a previously created work schedule, from a floppy disk, etc.

The work schedule information is read out and set in the 1 work schedule table 17. If a new work schedule is to be created, the 9 work schedule table 17 is cleared, initial settings are made, and the schedule date is input and stored.

(2) Edit the contents of the work item table 16 and the work schedule table 17, and display the menu of one selected work item and one work schedule side by side as shown in the display screen 32 shown in FIG.

- Set the content i of the work item cursor movement counter 30 to 0 and display the starting position of one work item with the cursor. Second
In the figure, the cursor display 33 is shown.

This will show the "progress check" work. The work schedule cursor movement counter 31 is also initialized.

■ By pressing the cursor key 35, the content i of the 1-work item cursor movement counter 30 is updated and the 5-sor display 33
move. At this time, the screen for the selected work item is scrolled as necessary. When the return key is input from the keyboard 10, the counter 30 at that time
A work item in the one work item table 16 is selected based on the value n.

■ Work schedule cursor movement According to the contents j of the counter 31, a cursor display 34 indicating the schedule date is displayed, and by inputting the cursor key 35, it is moved. By manually pressing the return key, the value m of the counter 31 at that time is stored.

■ Read out the nine selected nth work items from the work item table 16 and place them in the position corresponding to the mth day in the 1 work schedule table 17.

Write the work item. The contents of the work schedule table 17 are reflected in the work schedule on the display screen 32.

(2) If the number of days required for the n-th work is a plurality of days, one work schedule is displayed by adding 1 for the number of days to the value of 1m. for example.

As shown in Figure 2, if 3 days are required for ``negotiations to reduce functions'', then the amount of time required for ``negotiations to reduce functions'' is 3 days.

Allotments will be made for three days.

■ Determine whether or not the work schedule has ended, and if the schedule is to be continued, control is returned to process ■ and the process is repeated in the same way. By issuing a termination instruction from the keyboard 10 or by terminating all schedules up to the scheduled schedule end date.

Finish processing.

Through the above processing, the desired work schedule is completed. According to this embodiment, in particular, the cursor control of the selected work item and the work schedule on the display screen is performed independently, so that the schedule can be assembled quickly and continuously.

The usefulness can be further improved by providing the following means.

(1) Work item insertion means For example, on the date when the selected work item was scheduled,
If you are already assigned other work.

Typically, overrides allow new work items to replace previous work items. On the other hand, in the case of insert mode, the previous work item is not deleted and is shifted back by two days required for the new work item. In the present invention, this process can be easily realized using the nine work item table 16 and the work schedule table 17.

(2) Multi-work same-day scheduling means A same-day schedule mode is provided, and in this mode,
Enable multiple tasks to be assigned in parallel on the same day. The number of days required for work assigned to the same date shall be the total number of days.

This can also be easily realized using the nine work item tables 16 and the work schedule table 17 in the present invention. Note that if the display area of the work schedule on the display screen is small, it may be handled by horizontal scrolling or the like.

(3) Holiday Skip Means In the case of holiday skip mode, when one task requires multiple days and falls on a holiday such as a Sunday or public holiday, it automatically assigns the task to the holiday. Schedule one task by skipping holidays. This can be achieved by inputting calendar information.

By the way, the present inventors have developed a project management simulator for training a project league that allows users to experience project management for system development in a simulated manner using a data processing device. The present invention can also be applied to schedule input for league work in such a simulator.

In this case, quick input becomes possible, which helps shorten the training period.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, one work schedule can be quickly created and one work schedule can be changed with a simple operation. This prevents omission of work items, mistakes in setting one work period, etc. that occur due to manual work.
