“ Computer programs emerge as the outcome of complex human processes of cognition, communication and negotiation, which serve to establish the meaningful embedding of the computer system in its intended use context. ”

Pietras, Christine M. and Coury, Bruce G. (1994): The Development of Cognitive Models of Planning for Use in the Design of Project Management Systems. In International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 40 (1) pp. 5-30.

“The research presented in this paper is concerned with the planning component of project management and describes the use of interviewing techniques to develop cognitive models of planning for project management systems. Interviews were conducted with six project managers from six different problem domains. Protocol analysis was used to develop two types of cognitive models: process models that provided detailed descriptions of planning actions; and a higher level model of the planning process based on the Hayes-Roth theoretical model of planning. A visual representation of the planning process, called DMAP, was created to identify the type of planning that occurs at each stage of the planning process in project management. The discussion focuses on the use of cognitive models in the design of knowledge-based systems for project management.”

“The research presented in this paper is concerned with the planning component of project management and describes the use of interviewing and observational techniques to develop cognitive models of planning for project management systems. Interviews were conducted with six project managers from six different problem domains. Protocol analysis was used to develop two types of cognitive models: process models that provided detail descriptions of planning actions; and a higher level model of the planning process based on the Hayes-Roth theoretical model of planning. A visual representation of the planning process, called DMAP, was created to identify the type planning that occurs at each stage of the planning process in project management.
