Using XML for Project Planning and Management
Abstract
Last years seminar, "More Computer Disasters", described how many large IT project failures, such as the INCIS disaster, can be traced to the complexity of the project and the difficulties in controlling this complexity.
XML offers a framework for the representation and analysis of such complicated information: analysis of some common Project Management software tools reveals that they represent the same kinds of information; tasks, resources and allocations (of tasks to resources), and this commonality is reflected in associated XML schemata.
A conceptual framework is being constructed, based on Semantic Web technology, to represent projects, project semantics and project management methods. This framework will be sufficiently general to support several project tools and many different project management methodologies.
