Workers involved in software projects are unlike those working on a production line in a manufacturing field usually engaged in plural work (that is, not only main development work but also various other work), concurrently. Such other work might put pressure on the schedule of the whole project. Therefore, to manage the whole project, not only main development work but also various other work should be dealt with as management objects and workers' workload should be taken into consideration (that is, who is doing what work at what workload at what time). This paper proposes a framework for workload management facilities for managing software projects. This framework proposes to relate not only main development work but also various other work and each work step within cooperative work to the workers. This paper also shows the behavior of the facilities by using an example and shows its usefulness based on the application of a prototype system. Using this system, users can assign work to workers by simulating workers' workload. These facilities help managers grasp workers' workload as well as help workers grasp their assigned work.
