Abstract
A method that uses an e-mail exchange log we developed is described that evaluates the communication patterns within a project. A frequency map enables the strength of communication to be measured among members, and inner vector analysis enables clear understanding of the exact position of members directly displaying the relationships among members. Experimental analysis of a real project within an organization confirmed the effectiveness of the method, and communication patterns were clearly represented. Our method is unique in that communication patterns within a project can be identified computationally only by using the e-mail exchange log.
