WPHV

Scope of the Work Plan Hierarchical View application

This application aim is to provide a tool which allows a hierarchical organisation of Work Items, this by displaying WIs from theETSI work programme in a tree view. The tree will be constituted of "nodes" and "leaves". The "nodes" are topics, their positions define the hierarchical structure, but these "nodes" do not contain any work programme data. The "leaves" are Work Items from the ETSI work programme and are hierarchically attached to the "nodes".

This hierarchical system can be used for:

- Organizing and managing work items

- Providing a better understanding of the relations between WIs

- Handling work areas across multiple ETSI Technical Bodies

- Displaying WI project part of a Work plan in a GANTT chart style view.
