Abstract
The global proliferation of high speed communication networks has created unprecedented opportunities for geographically distributed resource interaction. A crowd sourced project management synthesizer provides crowd sourced project management features, as well as resource performance tracking features, to provide efficiencies to the project's implementation.
Claims20
An enterprise server computer comprising:
- a communication interface configured to:
- communicate with a computing resource, a project plan database, and a project performance database;
- and
- receive, from the computing resource, project parameters corresponding to an enterprise project;
- project management circuitry coupled to the communication interface, the project management circuitry configured to:
- receive, through the communication interface, the project parameters;
- control the communication interface to retrieve, from the project plan database, a project template corresponding to the enterprise project;
- control the communication interface to retrieve, from the project performance database, project performance data for a plurality of resources, the project performance data including a respective resource identifier and resource attributes for the plurality of resources;
- determine, from the plurality of resources, a first cell group of resources for assigning a first project task included in the project template;
- and
- determine, from the plurality of resources, a second cell group of resources for assigning a second project task included in the project template.
