Abstract

This paper describes the development of a fundamentally novel project representation. It explains the rationale behind this new approach and discusses the problems faced by organisations undertaking the development of large complex projects. Parallels are drawn between Computational analysis such as Computational Fluid Mechanics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis and programme management networks. The paper discusses the use of this new representation implemented as a software tool and reports briefly on the experiences of using it on industry projects.
