Abstract

A major issue for project management, besides handling schedules and deadlines, is the process of finding and extracting the most relevant information from a variety of different software solutions used by the different stakeholders. This often leads to enormously large Excel sheets that try to identify the most up-to-date versions of the documents needed, which are extremely time-consuming to maintain, inefficient for finding information, and prone to errors. The contemporary methodology we introduce represents a paradigm shift in project management, eschewing the traditional model of isolated databases for documents, such as requirements, CAD data, and Gantt chart schedules. Instead, we propose an integrated database architecture that consolidates all project management needs into a single, user-friendly repository. This, coupled with a web-based interface, facilitates the retrieval of relevant information in a straightforward and dependable manner. Illustrated through the case study of ELT-MICADO, we present the implementation of this strategy using Siemens Teamcenter, an industry standard software solution that is adapted to our specific needs. This exposition is not intended as an endorsement of the product but rather as an exemplification of one potential solution. It is acknowledged that alternative software solutions may offer comparable functionality and performance.
