Abstract
In order to make successful research-and-development (R&D) program management, after looking down at the whole project combined organically, it is necessary to perform timely management in the suitable timing of a program. However, such panoramic management is not performed timely in many cases. One of causes is because the method of practicing R&D program management is not offered with the form which can be performed. Therefore, this research proposes a process model, in order to practice R&D program management. By using a process model, the program manager can grasp when it should be cautious of what kind of thing, and should manage in accordance with the progress of R&D program. As a result of analyzing record of an actual R&D program using the created process model, the knowledge of management has been grasped systematically. We think that this result suggests the usefulness of a process model.
