Architectural data metrics overlay

A computer-based system for analyzing a project, the system comprising an overlay engine programmed to perform actions including:

• a) receiving one or more intrinsic measures indicative of a static structure of one or more portions of the project;
• b) receiving one or more activity-based measures indicative of user activity related to the project;
• c) receiving mapping data that maps each of a plurality of logical project units to one or more physical project units;
• d) receiving an architectural diagram including a representation of each of the plurality of logical project units;
• e) associating each of the plurality of logical project units with a corresponding set of the received activity-based measures and a corresponding set of the received intrinsic measures;
• f) combining the architectural diagram with the received activity-based measures and the received intrinsic measures to generate an overlay diagram, the overlay diagram comprising the architectural diagram and, for each of the plurality of logical project units, the corresponding set of the received activity-based measures and the corresponding set of the received intrinsic measures displayed in a graph proximate to the logical project unit representation;
• and
• the system further comprising a processor.

A computer-based system, including a processor, for analyzing a project having physical project units and logical project units, comprising:

• a) means for mapping the physical project units to the logical project units;
• b) means for receiving intrinsic measures and activity-based measures associated with the physical project units;
• c) means for receiving an architectural diagram including a set of logical project units;
• d) means for associating the intrinsic measures and the activity-based measures with corresponding logical project units of the set of logical project units;
• and
• e) means for generating, for each of the set of logical project units, a corresponding set of rollup measure data by determining one or more of the intrinsic measures and one or more of the activity-based measures associated with the logical project unit;
• f) means for generating an overlay diagram that combines the architectural diagram with each set of rollup measure data, the overlay diagram including, for each logical project unit of the set of logical project units, a visual representation of the intrinsic measures corresponding to the logical project unit.
