System and method for conducting and managing an office move

摘要

The invention is a system and method for office relocations. The invention provides a web-accessible, comprehensive and systematic approach to office relocations which identifies the specific activities to be performed in the office relocation and the internal processes required to make timely purchasing decisions for staff, contractors, vendors, furniture and equipment. The invention identifies 40 crucial tasks and over 400 associated activities designed to efficiently move an office; prioritizes, on a weekly basis, move activities according to the move date; and allows the management of the completion of activities while allowing non-managerial move team members “read only” access. The invention enhances communication with move team members, vendors and staff. The preferred embodiment is a web-based application, having calendar, task and template and project summary formats that are easy to understand. Icons allow easy file management of all daily or weekly tasks and associated templates. Color coordination defines the relationships among calendars, tasks and templates. Customized templates provide examples, sample formats, reminders, questions to ask and items to consider relating to an office move. The invention allows tasks and templates to be printed. The invention allows selected templates to be downloaded, modified and uploaded.
