Abstract
Techniques for project management instantiation and configuration are provided. A master project includes policy directives that drive the dynamic instantiation and configuration of resources for a project. The resources are instantiated and configured on demand and when resources are actually requested, in response to the policy directives.
Claims21
(canceled)
A method, comprising:
- managing, by a device, a project that spans multiple project environments and devices;
- and
- dynamically delivering, by the device, resources, during appropriate stages of a lifecycle for the project, to each project environment on demand.
A method, comprising:
- managing, by a processor, a lifecycle for a project over disparate processing environments and devices;
- and
- dynamically causing, by the processor, each portion of the project to be instantiated within a particular processing environment when a determination is made that access to that portion is in a need.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a project module, the project module operative to (i) execute on the processor;
- (ii) manage a lifecycle of a project over multiple disparate processing environments, and (iii) dynamically deliver portions associated with the lifecycle to each of the processing environments on demand.
The system of claim. 19, wherein the project module is further operable to (iv) enforce at least one policy restriction on at least one portion before delivery.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
