A methodology that produces Program Planning Charts using SAS/GRAPH software has been developed as an aid to program management in the CO/sub 2/ Research Program of the US Department of Energy. The methodology uses programs from MAPPER, a front-end program (written by D.A. Dahl) for DISSPLA to produce Logic Flow diagrams. Each research question, or set of questions, which comprise one phase of a research program, is represented by a boxed area containing the title of the particular research question(s). The GMAP procedure of SAS/GRAPH software reads user-supplied information regarding a variable aspect of each research question and shades the boxes accordingly. The result is a color-coded planning chart depicting the user supplied information for the individual research questions and, consequently, the status of the overall program. 4 figures, 1 table.
