Process Cycle

Cobra provides a set of powerful and flexible software tools for developing project management systems that can accommodate virtually any cost/schedule application, including the validation of projects for EVMS purposes.

By placing many of the basic design decisions in the hands of the user, it is possible to extend the capabilities of Cobra in a number of different directions without having the added expense and complexity of custom programming. At the same time, maintaining all data in database file format makes it a relatively simple task to integrate Cobra data into external systems.

The same goals of flexibility, convenience, and power apply to the entry, manipulation, and reporting of data in Cobra. Although Cobra defines the concepts that underlie its operations very specifically, all are based on a basic cost/schedule methodology that most project managers are familiar with.
