ABSTRACT:
A system and method for defining a visibility index for a project. The system and method consist of a plurality of categories, each of which characterizes an aspect of the project, an assessment of the aspect, a score that quantifies the assessment, a weight that quantifies the relative importance of each category, a weighted score derived by multiplying the score by the weight, and a visibility index derived by adding the weighted scores for at least two categories. The plurality of categories might include the size, complexity, priority, duration of the project, and the flexibility of the project's schedule.
