Resumen
Project management uses tools to program (plan and implement) projects. One of them is Microsoft Project, a powerful computer program with concepts, structure and terminology that are sometimes confusing, inappropriate or incomplete. Although the programmers took care of these matters, the application structure is hard to understand and follow. All of this became apparent when the author taught MS Project during his twelve years of teaching at university and as a professional consultant.
This paper shows the interrelation of the different project management variables (including quality, time, and cost) and the graphical representation of the project allowing the creation of a graphical proposal that not only maintains coherence in the use of the symbols of variables or interrelations but also provides what the application doesn�t. This proposal has completed its conception phase and is adequate for a graphical interface that is at stage of development.
