Computer controlled display system for tracking the development of software products having a plurality of development lines through the monitoring of sequences of checkpoints respectively in said lines

摘要

A method and system for monitoring of the progress of product development distributed between a plurality of developmental lines in the development of complex computer software products so that the data relative to each of the lines are readily available and communicated to the developers working on the other lines. There is the combination of setting in each of the plurality of developmental lines, a sequence of checkpoints, tracking each of the developmental lines to determine the reached checkpoints and displaying the plurality of developmental lines and indicating said reached checkpoints. Responsive to an interactive user selection, the invention further provides an implementation for modifying the developmental lines and the checkpoints, and for displaying said modifications. In this connection, an implementation for displaying at each of said checkpoints a set of developmental attributes for said checkpoint is provided.
