High charts - that might help with a large part of this initiative.
Software development time formula:
Total Time = (PX)+(CR)+30%
Where:
P = Programmers original estimate
X = Number of executives involved in the project
C = Changes
R = Number of people requesting changes
Usually this results in a 4 month overrun as last minute changes are not included in this formula.
