A resource management application (60) allows an organization to focus its resources on outcomes that need to be achieved in order to complete one or more projects of a defined objective of the organization. With the present invention, every user (32, 34, 36) of the organization can understand how assigned outcomes on which a user is working contribute, effect, and fit within the organization's overall objectives. Moreover, with the present invention, collaboration between users provides a mechanism for assessing risks to projects resulting, for example, from delays in schedule, insufficient manpower, or unforeseen events. Notifications are automatically generated to a project manager (34) who can then research issues and decide if resolution of an issue creating a risk should be escalated to outcome status and, if so, assign resources to the outcome. Scheduling is automatically updated from the process of automatic collaboration such that all users working on a project are informed as to the status and progress of efforts toward an outcome.
