Web supported process management to achieve consistent international project team integration and performance

The development of a web supported service for project teams is described. The Interactive Work Analysis and Simulation (i-WASP(TM)) contains over 190 structured process maps of the building project process from concept to handover. Laid over this are the management process to manage each step in the project. For each task in the process, the system provides a definition of the task together with advice and guidance on how it should be managed. This is further supported by practiice guides that develop the management methods and give an in-depth description of the latest approaches. Each practice guide contains checklists that can be downloaded for the user to adapt and modify to their own needs. i-WASP is focused at the operational level and is compatible with the current improvement agendas. It brings together guidance and practice into a single tool to support all project team members in their work, so delivering research findings and consolidated best practice for the practitioner.
