Method and system for electronically processing project requests
First Claim
1. A method for evaluating a request to process a project, wherein the request includes information relating to processing the project, the method comprising:
- receiving a score relating to a level of detail included in the request;
determining, by a processor, a project-related date based, at least in part, upon the score.

Abstract
A method and system are provided for handling electronic project requests, and more specifically to a system and method for electronically receiving, evaluating and processing project requests, and for monitoring the progress of developing requested projects through implementation. The system and method are directed to the submission and electronic processing of project requests, including: initiating a system request; directing the request to the appropriate business for review; generating cost and estimates for the requested project; generating preliminary start and end dates for the project; classifying the project based upon its size (cost expectations); acquiring funding for the project; and monitoring the project toward completion.

5. A method for categorizing a project defined by a project request, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first value associated with processing a project request;
receiving a second value associated with determining the first value;
calculating, by a processor, a total processing value for completing the project request, wherein the total processing value is based, at least in part, upon the first value and the second value; and
categorizing, by the processor, the project request based, at least in part, upon the total processing value. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)

12. A method for monitoring the processing of a project, wherein the project is defined by a project request, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first value associated with processing the project request;
receiving a second value associated with determining the first value;
comparing, by a processor, the second value with an estimated sizing value, wherein the estimated sizing value relates to an estimated value for determining the first value; and
storing comparison information, wherein the comparison information is based, at least in part, upon comparing the estimated sizing value with the second value. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)

15. A method for monitoring the processing of a project, wherein the project is defined by a project request, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first value associated with processing a project;
comparing, by a processor, the first value with an estimated processing value, wherein the estimated processing value relates to an estimated value for processing the project request; and
storing comparison information, wherein the comparison information is based upon the comparing of the estimated processing value with the first value. - View Dependent Claims (16)

17. A system for evaluating a request to process a project, wherein the request includes information relating to processing the project, the system comprising:
-
an interface to receive a score relating to a level of detail included in the request; and
a processor programmed to determine a project-related date based, at least in part, upon the score. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)

21. A system for categorizing a project defined by a project request, the system comprising:
-
an interface to receive a first value associated with processing a project request, and to receive a second value associated with determining the first value; and
a processor programmed to calculate a total processing value for completing the project request, wherein the total processing value is based, at least in part, upon the first value and the second value, and to categorize the project request based, at least in part, upon the total processing value. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)

28. A system for monitoring the processing of a project, wherein the project is defined by a project request, the system comprising:
-
an interface to receive a first value associated with processing the project request, and for receiving a second value associated with determining the first value;
a processor programmed to compare the second value with an estimated sizing value, wherein the estimated sizing value relates to an estimated value for determining the first value; and
a storage device to store comparison information, wherein the comparison information is based, at least in part, upon comparing the estimated sizing value with the second value. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30)
