Abstract
A method, system, and computer program device provides layered access and/or supervisory oversight and management of projects and items, and the projects incorporate associatively filed electronic information. Optionally, layered access includes peer groups of individual users, with access across multiple projects. A plurality of items incorporate the electronic information, and are associated with a project, and optionally the items have different corresponding native applications.
