Abstract: This technology obtains requirements data on types of requirements for a project. Next, each conflict between one of the requirements in one of the types of requirements and one of the requirements in another one of the types of requirements is identified. In each of the identified conflicts one of the one of the requirements in one of the types of requirements or the one of the requirements in another one of the types of requirements is selected based on stored attribute value data for the obtained requirements retrieved from one or more value databases. A schedule with a sequence of execution phases of the project is generated based on any non-conflicting ones of the requirements and the selected one of the one of the requirements in one of the types requirements and one of the requirements in another one of the types of requirements for each of the identified conflicts.
