As a result of the research over for two years, the simulation system, which can carry out false experience of various software development projects, was built, and it clarified that the project management support by the simulation was possible. Three basic models (the amount model of work, a productivity model, knowledge model), which constitute the work progress model, which is to the foundations of a simulation especially, were evaluated, it was based on the result, and the simulation system was designed and mounted on Windows. Java was used for mounting of a system. Access and the execution to a system are possible through WWW. Moreover, a system provides the function, which computes the parameter of a basic model from the characteristics (productivity, days required for technical acquisition, etc.) of a project. Thereby, the project administrator without the knowledge about a basic model can also use a system now comparatively easily. I set up the virtual project (virtual project) with the feature typical as a software development project, and had the subjective estimate and the estimate using the system performed to each six skillful administrators. Consequently, in the estimate of a development term, the thing, which used subjective, estimate value and a subjective system and which it estimates and no difference is between values was confirmed at 5% of significant levels. Furthermore, the difference in the knowledge which a developer has was expressed in detail, and by expressing the knowledge structure required of work enforcement on a cognitive map showed that it could be reflected in progress.
