System for the online analysis of distributed projects

Abstract

With global collaboration becoming increasingly common among researchers, project managers are seeking to reduce the negative impact of distance on team performance. There is an increasing demand for an integrated tool to assess and analyze the properties of work groups in order to identify key features which could either facilitate or hinder performance. The described system creates a robust interface for researchers and project managers to calculate statistics, analyze, visualize, and compare assessment data in order to gain insight into the interaction networks of work groups.
