Abstract

Systems and methods applicable, for example, in project management. Provided operations include, for instance, operations regarding projects, tasks, subtasks, questions, attachments, users, and/or the like.

Claims

1. A method for project management, comprising:

receiving from a first user an indication that a task has been completed, wherein said task has been assigned to said first user;

informing a second user of the indication that said task has been completed; and

receiving from said second user an indication regarding whether said task was satisfactorily completed.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said second user provides an indication regarding actions performed incorrectly by said first user with regard to said task.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said second user indicates a camera link.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein said second user employs said camera link in providing feedback to said first user regarding actions performed incorrectly by said first user with regard to said task.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein said second user indicates a question for association with said task.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising informing said first user that said task needs to be reconsidered.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising informing said second user that said task is considered to be pending complete.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving from said second user an indication to designate said task as complete.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising terminating a display of said task to said first user.

10. A method for project management, comprising:

assigning a task to a user;

receiving from said user an indication of one or more subtasks corresponding to said task;

receiving from said user an indication of one or more assignees for one or more of said subtasks; and

assigning one or more of said subtasks in accordance with said indication of one or more assignees.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising querying said user for data corresponding to one or more of said subtasks.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein said user indicates one or more categories corresponding to one or more of said subtasks.

13. The method of claim 10, wherein said user indicates privacy information corresponding to one or more of said subtasks.

14. The method of claim 10, wherein said user indicates billing information corresponding to one or more of said subtasks.

15. The method of claim 10, wherein said user indicates time estimate information corresponding to one or more of said subtasks.

16. The method of claim 10, wherein said user indicates due date information corresponding to one or more of said subtasks.

17. The method of claim 10, wherein said user indicates comments corresponding to one or more of said subtasks.

18. The method of claim 10, wherein said user indicates one or more questions for association with one or more of said subtasks.

19. The method of claim 10, wherein said user indicates one or more attachments for association with one or more of said subtasks.

20. The method of claim 10, further comprising notifying one or more of said assignees of one or more of said subtasks.

21. The method of claim 11, wherein said data is subject to one or more constraints.

22. The method of claim 21, wherein said one or more constraints relate to said task.

23. A system for project management, comprising:

a memory having program code stored therein; and

a processor disposed in communication with said memory for carrying out instructions in accordance with the stored program code;

wherein said program code, when executed by said processor, causes said processor to perform;

receiving from a first user an indication that a task has been completed, wherein said task has been assigned to said first user;

informing a second user of the indication that said task has been completed; and

receiving from said second user an indication regarding whether said task was satisfactorily completed.

24. The system of claim 23, wherein said second user provides an indication regarding actions performed incorrectly by said first user with regard to said task.

25. The system of claim 23, wherein said second user indicates a camera link.

26. The system of claim 25, wherein said second user employs said camera link in providing feedback to said first user regarding actions performed incorrectly by said first user with regard to said task.

27. The system of claim 23, wherein said second user indicates a question for association with said task.

28. The system of claim 23, wherein said processor further performs informing said first user that said task needs to be reconsidered.

29. The system of claim 23, wherein said processor further performs informing said second user that said task is considered to be pending complete.

30. The system of claim 23, wherein said processor further performs receiving from said second user an indication to designate said task as complete.

31. The system of claim 30, wherein said processor further performs terminating a display of said task to said first user.

32. A system for project management, comprising:

a memory having program code stored therein; and

a processor disposed in communication with said memory for carrying out instructions in accordance with the stored program code;

wherein said program code, when executed by said processor, causes said processor to perform;

assigning a task to a user;

receiving from said user an indication of one or more subtasks corresponding to said task;

receiving from said user an indication of one or more assignees for one or more of said subtasks; and

assigning one or more of said subtasks in accordance with said indication of one or more assignees.

33. The system of claim 32, wherein said processor further performs querying said user for data corresponding to one or more of said subtasks.

34. The system of claim 32, wherein said user indicates one or more categories corresponding to one or more of said subtasks.

35. The system of claim 32, wherein said user indicates privacy information corresponding to one or more of said subtasks.

36. The system of claim 32, wherein said user indicates billing information corresponding to one or more of said subtasks.

37. The system of claim 32, wherein said user indicates time estimate information corresponding to one or more of said subtasks.

38. The system of claim 32, wherein said user indicates due date information corresponding to one or more of said subtasks.

39. The system of claim 32, wherein said user indicates comments corresponding to one or more of said subtasks.

40. The system of claim 32, wherein said user indicates one or more questions for association with one or more of said subtasks.

41. The system of claim 32, wherein said user indicates one or more attachments for association with one or more of said subtasks.

42. The system of claim 32, wherein said processor further performs notifying one or more of said assignees of one or more of said subtasks.

43. The system of claim 33, wherein said data is subject to one or more constraints.

44. The system of claim 43, wherein said one or more constraints relate to said task.
