Method and Computer Software for Integrating Systems Engineering and Project Management Tools
First Claim
1. A method for integrating systems engineering and project management tools, the method including the steps of:
- obtaining component parts and life cycle activities of a system;
creating a system information model by selectively and individually linking parts and activities with tasks, resources, time and costs;
updating the system information model by selectively and individually adding or modifying parts, activities, tasks, resources, time, costs and links therebetween;
storing versions of the system information model;
processing versions of the system information model into end-user information to enable life cycle analysis of the system.
