Project Manager

EA provides support for the management of projects. Project Managers can use EA to assign resources to elements, measure risk and effort and estimate project sizes. Change Control and element maintenance is also available.

Provide project estimates
With Enterprise Architect the Project Manager has access to a comprehensive project estimation tool that calculates effort from use case and actor objects, coupled with project configurations defining the technical and environmental complexity of the work environment.

Resource management
Managing the allocation of resources in the design and development of system components is an important and difficult task. Enterprise Architect allows the project manager or development manager the ability to assign resources directly to model elements and track progress over time.

Risk management
The Metrics and Estimations tool may be used to assign Risk to an element within a project. The Risk Types allow the project manager to name the risk, define the type of risk, and give it a weighting.

Maintenance
EA allows the Project Manager to track and assign maintenance related items to elements within EA. This allows for the rapid capture and record keeping with maintenance tasks such as issues, changes, defects and tasks.
