Overview: This paper describes how Genetic Programming (GP) techniques are used to help project managers find near optimal designs for their project organizations. GP is used as a postprocessor optimizer for the project organization design simulator Virtual Design Team (VDT). Decision making policy and individual/sub-team properties, activity assignments and percentage allocation for each activity are varied by GP, and the effect on quality and duration of the project is compared via a fitness function. The solutions found by GP compare favorably with the best human generated designs.
