Novel tools and techniques are described for managing workflow for projects, including, without limitation, cadastral survey projects. In one aspect, a method might comprise providing a workflow management schedule to a user over a network from a remote computer system. The remote computer system might compare one or more workflow items—including one or more of a task, a meeting, a project, a deadline, a time, a date, one or locations, or required data—on the workflow management schedule with workflow items on reference schedules, and identifying one or more necessary workflow items not included on the workflow management schedule, based on the comparison. The remote computer system might add the one or more necessary workflow items to the workflow management schedule. The remote computer system might additionally define, and send to the user, a scope of work associated with each necessary workflow item, based on reference scopes of work. |

1. A method comprising:
providing to a user, from a computer system maintained by a service provider at a location which is remote from and in network communication with the user, a workflow management schedule comprising one or more tasks and one or more dates for the initiation or completion of said tasks, wherein said one or more tasks are associated with the preparation of a cadastral survey; comparing, with the remote computer system, the tasks and the dates included on the workflow management schedule with reference tasks and reference dates included on at least one of multiple reference schedules derived from prior cadastral survey projects and maintained by the service provider in a database including reference schedules; identifying, with the remote computer system, from at least one reference schedule, at least one necessary task and at least one necessary date not included on the workflow management schedule; defining, with the remote computer system, a scope of work associated with the necessary task, wherein said scope of work comprises a listing of subtasks suggested for completion of the necessary task, a listing of personnel suggested for completion of the necessary task, a listing of materials, equipment, and services suggested for completion of the necessary task, and a duration suggested for completion of the necessary task, wherein the scope of work is derived from scopes of work associated with prior cadastral survey projects and maintained by the service provider in a database including prior scopes of work; adding, with the remote computer system, at least one necessary task, at least one necessary date, and at least one defined scope of work to the workflow management schedule; communicating the added at least one necessary task, the added at least one necessary date, and the added at least one defined scope of work from the remote computer system to one or more schedules maintained by one or more personnel suggested for completion of the necessary task; communicating the listing of materials, equipment, and services suggested for completion of the necessary task from the remote computer system to one or more of a supplier of cadastral materials and equipment or a provider of services; receiving, at the remote computer system, an indication from the user that at least a portion of the necessary task is completed; and indicating on the workflow management schedule, with the remote computer system, the completion of at least a portion of the necessary task. |
