The present invention relates to a method and related system for assisting and expediting an organization production of a more mature product. The method and system may include implementation of processes using a combination of both electronic hardware and software and implementation locally or over a network such as an intranet or the Internet. In another embodiment, the method may be implemented using a document management system to administer files related to the steps in the method. These files may assist a user in the creation of required documentation. A document management tool may be integrated with the document management system to associate documentation with steps in the method. A navigator tool may be employed to create a graphical display of the steps in the method using data contained in the files. Another embodiment of the present invention uses WebDAV-based communication to coordinate access to multiple document repositories.
