Enabling collaboration on a project plan

摘要

Systems, methods, and software applications for enabling the collaboration on a project plan are described in the present disclosure. A computer readable medium is configured to store instructions that are executable by a processing device. According to one embodiment, among many, the computer readable medium includes logic adapted to enable a member of a project team to submit a proposal for modifying a current project plan to a project manager. The computer readable medium also includes logic adapted to enable the project manager to accept or reject the proposal for modifying the current project plan. Various team members make changes to a single shared copy of the project plan. The changes can be to a respective team member's section of the plan

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store instructions that, when executed by a processor, manages a project, the managing comprising:
creating a shared copy of a current project plan stored in a database, the current project plan including a plurality of tasks, each task identifying a team member authorized to propose modifications to the task; enabling viewing of the shared copy of the current project plan on a plurality of project team member devices; modifying the shared copy of the current project plan to include proposed modifications to a particular task of the current project plan received from an authorized project team member device; enabling viewing of the shared copy of the current project plan, with the proposed modifications to the particular task, on the authorized project team member device; enabling viewing of the shared copy of the current project plan, without the proposed modifications to the particular task, on unauthorized project team member devices: analyzing the impact of the proposed modifications on the current project plan, including determining any consequential changes upstream or downstream from the proposed modifications; enabling acceptance of the proposed modifications to the particular task, and, if accepted, saving the shared copy of the current project plan as the current project plan in the database; and enabling rejection of the proposed modifications to the particular task, and, if rejected, removing the proposed modifications from the shared copy of the current project plan.
