Project Management System for Integrated Project Schedules

In a processor, a method of simulating a project comprising:

• storing in a storage device, a work details table having a user-determined number of columns with each of the columns having a user-defined meaning;
• defining precedence constraints in a precedence graph;
• populating the work details table with data;
• and
• generating a schedule for the project via a simulation engine and a pull processor.

A system for planning a project, the system comprising:

• a work detail database having stored therein one or more attributes for the project;
• a schedule generator coupled to receive information from said work detail database and to generate schedules;
• and
• a push processor coupled to exchange data with said schedule generator, said push processor including a simulation engine for dynamically generating a data flow model comprised of a plurality of precedence actors and a plurality of work detail actors and for simulating a series of activities and resources and for generating a project plan including a schedule of all activities.
