US 2013/0254698 A1 · PROJECT ACTIVITY MODEL

Abstract

A system and method for creating a project workflow involves tracking all activities from all disciplines within a company in a database, such that when a new workflow is created, a project architect is forced to consider every activity ever performed to the workflow in relation to every discipline. Only after activities have been assigned to their appropriate disciplines, can a user filter a view of the map to hide disciplines and activities from view. This ensures that every task ever performed by various disciplines within a company is always considered whenever designing a project workflow.
