Project management is one of many software development issues that has been neglected by software developers for the last seventy years. Information related to progress of the project is usually passed through verbal communication by each developer without any clear description. This obscurity may lead into problems such as scheduling and project decision making, whereas knowing the progress of the project in software development is essential to make sure that the project is still on-the-track. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Therefore, a software that utilizes metrics and visualization methods is built to help developers to be able to track the progress of the project. The software uses metrics that can be extracted from project repository data that is stored in a Version Control System. The processed data is then displayed in a form of visualization, helping to increase the developers’ cognition to be able to track and gain information about the progress of the project being done. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Based on the testing results, this visualization software can give information that helps user to do the project progress tracking. There are five out of twelve provided metrics and visualization modules that can give important information from the project repository data, which can’t be seen before using this software. Besides, this tool also has a better side compared to the existing systems or publications, which is a more complete metrics and visualization methods that packaged into a simple visualization software. <br /> <br />
