System for linking a resource management system with an event of a project in a project management system and a method therefor

摘要

The invention relates to a computer- or internet-based system and a method of integrating a resource management system with a project management system so that they share various resource data, namely, human resources, bookings of facilities, and expenses stored previously in a database. This invention particularly deals with a system and method of linking the resource data with each event of any given project contained within the project management system. Access means is provided whereby event-based access is provided to the resource management system for each event of a particular project, such that the resource data and desired functions of the resource management system are linked to any given event and can be managed directly from within the event. A Gantt chart graphically represents each project within the project management system and the events contained therein. All of this is achieved in a user-friendly manner by which the resource data relevant to a selected event can be viewed graphically on a computer screen in the form of a table or a Gantt-like chart.
