A landscape metaphor for visualization of software projects

Software project management involves assessing the software system risks and costs, establishing a master schedule, integrating the various engineering specialities and design groups, maintaining configuration control and continuously auditing the effort to ensure that cost and schedule are met and the technical requirements objectives are satisfied. This paper presents a new graphical representation model for controlling and managing a project development process using metaphors and visual representation techniques.
