<p>The present invention provides a computerized system for actively managing the progress of a project and the tasks that are performed in order to complete the project. The system automatically contacts a party who is responsible for completing a task (37) and expects a response from the party indicating that the task has indeed been started, has been partially completed by whatever amount, and later has been finished (38). If a party does not respond to a notification from the system, then the system can notify the party's supervisor of the situation (39). The active management relieves the supervisor of much of the time and expense associated with tracking the progress of the project manually. It finds applicability in any scheduling or docketing system where a project is broken down into a series of tasks, and offers a bidirectional communication feature that has even broader application.</p> |
