ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A management system utilizes a distributed network having a host computer connected to one or more computer based workstations. Separate, on-line software support systems provide the execution environment for the system. Each support system provides data that reflects one or more aspects of a life cycle of a development project. This data is stored in separate databases associated with each support system. Periodically, the host computer extracts information from each of these support system databases to obtain data indicative of development activity for various phases of the life cycle of the software system. The extracted information is used to update a relational database. At any time, a manager situated at a workstation can formulate queries into the relational database. Thereafter, the workstation, through a workstation/host communications interface, initiates a host session and then loads the queries into the host computer. The host, in turn, executes these queries and downloads the query results into the workstation. Then the manager appropriately analyzes and interprets those query results at the workstation. The communications interface ensures that the host session remains substantially transparent to the manager. This advantageously frees the manager of any need to learn the host logon procedure and operating system, thereby minimizing the managerial time and effort required to obtain the desired information.
