The increasing size and complexity of modern systems makes concurrent, multi‐disciplinary development increasingly important. Integrated project teams ( ipt ) [1] and development ( ipd ) are now well‐understood and well‐recognized ingredients of system development. Less well understood are the implications of such development approaches on project planning and management. This paper introduces a straightforward technique for modeling development, allowing the flexibility necessary to accommodate concurrency and ipt s. The technique, which readily can be implemented with a standard spreadsheet program, serves as a tool for management, project leaders, and developmeant teams alike.
