Abstract

The article is about the management of an important part of the development process of a software system: the phase of incremental implementation. Implementation is based on the design of the system architecture and its components, its main task is the production of modules and their integration.

Project management has to plan and control the flow of project activities. Besides logical dependencies between them it has to take into consideration particularly the aspects of time and availability of qualified resources. In addition, each calculated plan depends upon several restricting constraints, which are influenced by real time decisions of the environmental system.

Therefore a model of such a supporting management system is dynamic and non deterministic in its nature, it needs the ability of adapting itsself due to external decisions.
