Description
Summary:Construction projects are very dynamic, so change management is crucial there. Changes in schedule and in stakeholders relationships are among the most important change management areas. Making decisions on such changes is an extremely difficult task. It can be facilitated by special visualization techniques. The existing techniques are analyzed and their drawbacks revealed. In order to address these drawbacks, new techniques are proposed for the visualization of both schedule and stakeholders relationships changes. They are based on the application of the spring image used in mechanics to the visualization of the project’s dynamics. The performance of the techniques is shown in examples. The results are discussed and further research is outlined.
