Abstract
Discrete Event Dynamic System (DEDS) is a dynamic system in which unexpected events take place at irregular intervals. Such systems can describe many different real phenomena occurring in transport networks, technological processes and computer systems and also in examples of design systems presented in this article. This article describes methods to support managing the design of IT infrastructure as a DEDS dealing with the allocation of human resources, the synchronisation of tasks and risk management. These methods are based on the max-plus system modelling theory , while the example uses a schedule of managing the design, implementation and deployment of software which helps monitor and control complex technological processes. The proposed solution can be used in both standard and agile & lean management principles promoted in recent years.
