Popis: Generally, the utilisation of the traditional scheduling methods represents a complex and lengthy task for most of the project managers. The existing project management software imposes often an important preparation period and the quality of graphical output of the planning job is questionable. In this article, we propose a new decision approach based on a chronographic representation of the schedule, which could simulate the real conditions of the project and as such, could be considered a flexible new toll for project planning. This planning model is design to be comprehensive enough to encompass the reality of the projects and to be auto-adaptive. We will show the benefits of the chronographic modelling coupled with knowledge-based to produce a more effective tool, especially for an inexperienced project manager.
