Abstract: An approximating anchor device, corresponding kits, and methods for implementing the device are described herein. In one embodiment, the approximating anchor device includes a first cylindrical fastener defining a first set of cross lumens, each of the first set of cross lumens extending substantially perpendicular to a central axis of the first cylindrical fastener, a second cylindrical fastener defining a second set of cross lumens, each of the second set of cross lumens extending substantially perpendicular to a central axis of the second cylindrical fastener, and a string running through the first set of cross lumens of the first cylindrical fastener and the second set of cross lumens of the second cylindrical fastener. Tightening of the string will draw the first cylindrical fastener and the second cylindrical fastener towards each other.

Abstract: Management graphical display computer software and system associated with a project, and method of providing such graphical display to a user is described. The graphical display presents project information in a way that allows the user to view project status and information comprising at least three distinct project attributes in the form of a colored, shaded, or patterned project status triangle. Each vertex on the triangle represents a quantified project attribute measured on a radar graph having three axes, each axis corresponding to one of three project attributes. The optional addition of color, shading, or a pattern to the triangle can be correlated to a fourth quantified project attribute. The resulting unique triangle represents a given project condition in four dimensions.
