This report covers a project management (PM) experiment, one of six experiments that examine different functional areas of ADA programming environments. The PM experiment was designed as part of the Evaluation of ADA Environments Project. This report describes the environment-independent part of the experiment: the activities covering the functional area, the evaluation criteria, and an experiment scenario to be performed on different environments. The experiment, as it stands, has been validated through internal and external review and through application to several environments that support project management.
