Abstract
A project management system is described, including (i) a people database storing profiles of individuals; (ii) a project processor configured to: display a project template on a graphical user interface for an initial project; enter parameter values into fields of the project template based on inputs from a user; identify individuals to work on the initial project by comparing the profiles of the individuals stored in the people database with the parameter values in the project template; modify the performance evaluation of an individual based on feedback from at least one of realized outcomes; modify at least one of the expected outcomes based on feedback from at least one of the profiles; modify at least one of the expected outcomes based on feedback from at least one of the realized outcomes; and display at least one of the parameter values entered into the project template on the graphical user interface.

44. A project management system comprising:
-
(i) a people database storing profiles of individuals, wherein the profile for each individual comprises indicators for; an employment history of the individual; a work position held by the individual; a type of work performed by the individual; a skill level of the individual; an evaluation of performance by the individual on any project, or portion thereof, completed by the individual; and an availability of the individual for a project; (ii) a project database storing information about projects, wherein the information for each project comprises indicators for; (a) information on persons needed to complete the project, wherein the information on each person includes at least one of; a type of work to be performed by the person; a required skill level of the person; and an amount of time for the person to perform on the project; (b) expected outcomes of the project; (c) realized outcomes of the project, after they are realized; and (d) a cost of at least a portion of the project; (iii) a project processor configured to; identify individuals to work on a project by comparing the profiles of the individuals stored in the people database with the information for the project stored in the project database; modify the performance evaluation based on feedback from at least one of the realized outcomes in relation to at least one of the expected outcomes; modify at least one of the expected outcomes based on feedback from at least one of the profiles; and modify at least one of the expected outcomes based on feedback from at least one of the realized outcomes. - View Dependent Claims (45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61)
