US 2013/0211884 A1 · PERFORMANCE EVALUATION IN A PROJECT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Abstract

A project management system includes a project processor configured to receive information about a project, wherein the information includes subtasks for the project and information about an entity assigned to complete at least one subtask of the project; calculate expected outcomes for the project based on the subtasks for the project and the information about the entity, wherein the expected outcomes include at least one subtask expected outcome; receive realized outcomes of the project after it is realized, wherein the realized outcomes includes at least one subtask realized outcome; determine feedback for the project based on the at least one subtask realized outcome in relation to at least one the subtask expected outcome; generate a performance evaluation for the entity assigned to complete the at least one subtask of the project based on feedback for the project; and publish the performance evaluation for the entity.

Dependent claims

A project management system comprising:

a project processor comprising:
one or more processors;
and
a non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving information about a project, wherein the information comprises:
subtasks for the project;
and
information about at least one entity assigned to complete
at least one subtask of the project;
calculating expected outcomes for the project based on the subtasks for the project and the information about the at least one entity, wherein the expected outcomes comprise at least one subtask expected outcome;
receiving realized outcomes of the project after it is realized, wherein the realized outcomes comprise at least one subtask realized outcome;
determining feedback for the project based on the at least one subtask realized outcome in relation to at least one the subtask expected outcome;
generating a performance evaluation for the at least one entity assigned to complete the at least one subtask of the project based on feedback for the project;
and
publishing the performance evaluation for the at least one entity.
