Abstract

The paper presents methods of aiding the project management of a computer information system as an example of discrete dynamical systems (DDS). Human resource management (HRM) is a feature of organization designed to maximize staff productivity to achieve the strategic goals of an information technology company, in particular concerning the general management of an IT project. This project relates to the development of a distributed monitoring system of the technological process for allocating team members, such as the product owner or the scrum master in the increasingly popular agile methodologies. The results were obtained by applying the general theory of a linear max plus system, which is a mathematical model of the management process. Some theoretical results and mathematical foundations of the max-plus system and in particular various other aspects of controlling discrete processes are presented.
