Abstract
A design and engineering project management system comprising a computer including a microprocessor, program memory, data storage memory, one or more displays, logic for identifying overall product objectives and group objectives relating to each of one or more subsystems or components of the overall product and displaying the overall objective and group objectives in a plurality of graphic windows which are quickly retrieved by the system operator, thereby integrating the diverse interests and activities of the groups into a comprehensive system design and implementation program. The system also preferably includes logic for identifying one or more strategies for achieving group objectives and presenting the strategies in a graphic form which allows for quick comparison of competing strategies. The system also preferably includes logic for quantitatively measuring progress toward each group's stated objectives and providing a plurality of graphic displays indicating each group's, and the entire project's toward its objectives.
