Abstract

Changes are inevitable in project management and project managers are often required to make change decisions that may have significant effects on the success of the project. To support project managers' decision-making process in such common cases, we have designed and developed a tool called ProjectTales. This tool takes advantage of the valuable information buried in the history of projects and provides various visual and interactive representations of the previous changes. Using ProjectTales, project managers can explore the history of projects, find the change situations similar to their current one, interpret the impact of the change decision, and potentially reuse the decision and the rationale of the change. We are currently planning a user evaluation to compare our tool with a baseline system.
