openZELOS – The super-intelligent and extremely ingenious AI project planning optimization assistant

Anyone who plans, coordinates and supervises complex projects will be familiar with the problem: changes made to any single parameter, such as schedule delays, the loss of resources, unplanned obstacles or even revised priorities, can wreak havoc on your planning. You end up sitting frustrated in front of your computer screen trying to eliminate critical paths and seemingly endless resource conflicts. Who would say no to a brilliant assistant designed for precisely this purpose, preferably utilizing artificial intelligence? Doesn’t that sound great?

That is exactly what the IT experts at RODIAS thought, so they built one in collaboration with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). The project is also funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). This impressive piece of software is called openZELOS. Like its namesake, the Greek god Zelos, brother of Nike, the goddess of victory, it strives eagerly for optimization.

But how does it work? Basically, you upload your current project data to openZELOS, e.g. as an export from Microsoft Project or another commonly used project management tool and are then presented with several options.

Option 1 is to simply let openZELOS run through different variants. You can also optimize your project with regard to time or costs and experiment with different alternatives.

Option 2 is to modify specifications, e.g. to change resources, and subsequently run through different scenarios. In this way, you can determine, for example, whether additional resources would be worth your while and how exactly they would affect runtime and costs.

The results of the AI’s diligent work are then exported back into your original software (MS Project in our example) and provide you with an updated and optimized project plan.

The openZELOS concept has many advantages: Generally, you can continue working with your usual project management tool and nobody needs to be trained to use new software –all except the project manager, of course, who will handle the optimization runs in openZELOS. However, it will save them a huge amount of time and effort and automatically provide them with optimized project variants. In addition, the web-based openZELOS interface is more or less self-explanatory thanks to its well-thought-out UX design.
