The application system (AS) provides a powerful VM/MVS host based facility to automate the tasks required to manage and control projects. The front-end menu-driven application, project management control package (PMCP), simplifies and organizes the functions AS provides for project management. PMCP provides an online method for recording and organizing project activity information, generating schedules with recommended start and end dates, recording activity progress, and project reporting both statistically and graphically. The functions provided in PMCP are utilized for the planning and execution of a sample project. PMCP on AS initially generates schedules based on effort, resources, relationships, and calendars. It facilitates progress tracking and schedule revisions. Progress reporting can be done with activity reports, Gantt charts, or graphic plots.
