Objective
The objective of IMPW was the implementation of a prototype workbench with particular emphasis on planning, project control and decision support. The tools rely heavily on a common knowledge base. The system is intended to be Unix V and PCTE portable.This project was associated with project 814, PIMS.
The objective was the implementation of a prototype workbench with particular emphasis on planning, project control and decision support. The tools rely heavily on a common knowledge base. The system is Unix V and portable common tool environment (PCTE) portable. Emphasis was laid on the design of the workbench software and on the design and implementation of a comprehensive set of use functions covering all automatable project management actions. Important results were:
The development of an object oriented development method;
The design of a standard manager workbench interface;
The preparation of a user requirements specification of estimation purposes;
The specification and design of the risk analysis tool;
The development of a first version of an estimation tool. Following the survey of cost modelling theories and practices, a generic cost estimation tool was developed that can be customized for all existing models and combinations thereof.

Exploitation
The prototype system is being demonstrated and used in industrial trials.
Industrialisation of the prototype will have immediate impact on software development project management.
