Described is a system and method that enables project management across application programs, including an email program, calendar program, spreadsheet program, word processing program, note taking program and others. A central project-related view provides access to project-related data items and may display a schedule, a task list of tasks filtered as being relevant to a project, a note page related to a project, and emails relevant to the project. In addition, other application objects (file, documents, presentations and spreadsheets) are also captured in the view and presented for easy access. Metadata including a project identifier is maintained in a database for the various data items, allowing rapid location of the data items related to a project via query techniques. A project palette allows access to the items from within another application program, and a project gallery allows a user alternative access to the files related to a project.
