Rules based method and system for project performance monitoring
First Claim
1. A method for processing project data to determine project performance, said method comprising:
- defining at least one rule for evaluating the project data, storing project data in a data storage device, processing said project data, applying said at least one rule to said project data, and presenting a status indicator representative of the performance of said project as a function of said rule and said project data.

Abstract
The invention is directed to a rules based method and system for monitoring and reporting the status, progress and performance of a project. The invention further includes a method and system which include indicators which are selected as a function the rules to identify variances in the project status, progress and performance. The invention further provides for a dashboard type way of presenting the information which presents the information in the form of indicators that allow a user to determine whether a project or component of a project is not performing as it is expected or planned to perform. The rules according to the invention can define variance limits for the data representative of the project performance and be used to change the indicators as a function of applying the rules to the project data. The invention further contemplates providing method and system in which data received from the data sources and stored in an oversight system that cannot be access or modified by the parties that are the sources of the data, thus providing an independent general ledger for the project data.
