HIERARCHICAL PROJECTS IN A COMPUTER-ENABLED PROJECT MANAGEMENT METHOD AND SYSTEM

摘要

METHODS AND SYSTEMS ARE PROVIDED FOR ESTABLISHING A HIERARCHICAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A PARENT OR MASTER PROJECT SCHEDULE AND SUB-PROJECT SCHEDULES INCLUDING TASKS AND PHASES REQUIRED FOR COMPLETION OF THE PARENT OR MASTER PROJECT. WHEN CHANGES ARE MADE TO DATA CONTAINED IN A GIVEN PARENT OR MASTER PROJECT SCHEDULE OR TO A HIERARCHICALLY RELATED SUB-PROJECT SCHEDULE, AN AUTOMATIC NOTIFICATION IS PASSED TO THE OWNERS/MANAGERS OF AFFECTED PROJECT SCHEDULES SO THAT THOSE PARTIES MAY ACCEPT THE PROPOSED CHANGE, REJECT THE PROPOSED CHANGE, OR RESPOND TO THE SUBMITTING PARTY WITH A COUNTER CHANGE PROPOSAL.
