A Generic Model of Project Management with Dynaplan smia

Abstract

Projects are hard to be managed due to the reason of complexity, non -linear relationship and high dynamic. System dynamics has been proven a powerful and efficient way to manage projects. In this research, a generic system dynamics model applying to project management has been made. Through studying the model, the system behaviours have been analyzed and policies to deal with the problems of project management have been established. In addition, an object-oriented feature has been added into the model. The attempt is new to system dynamics modelling, and the outcome is satisfying since it makes the diagram clearer and better to understand.
