First Claim
1. A method for integrating project management tools, comprising:
- obtaining a first instance from a first project management application;
obtaining a second instance from a second project management application;
translating data fields and values from said first project management application and said second project management application into a common format;
comparing said values of said data fields against a most recent synchronized data and data fields; and
performing a synchronization action in response to said comparing.

Abstract
An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a method, system, and storage medium for integrating project management tools. The method includes obtaining a first instance from a first project management application; obtaining a second instance from a second project management application; translating data fields and values from the first project management application and the second project management application into a common format; comparing the values of the data fields against a most recent synchronized data and data fields; and performing a synchronization action in response thereto. Synchronization actions include adding a project task, updating a project task, deleting a project task, and resolving conflicts among data values. The synchronization action can be initiated automatically in response to predetermined events or in response to a user request. The invention also includes a system and a storage medium.
