Plan tracking knowledge base

Creating project plans is a key management activity. Software project managers spend a lot of their time manually gathering data to track software project compliance to plans. This paper describes a knowledge base framework that is created by computer tools that gather information from project files. The framework provides facts to intelligent agents to help managers track compliance to plans. The plan-tracking framework is an extension of the PAMPA (Project Attribute Monitoring and Prediction Associate) tool's knowledge base structure.
