Abstract

The invention concerns methods for network-supported realization of a project based on a project proposal, for the realization of which a sequence of successive work steps to be implemented is provided. On a first computer, a first electronic page is provided that can be loaded onto a second computer via an information transmission network. The first electronic page comprises a field with which the project proposal is documented. After the documentation, an electronic file is created, and subsequently the persons provided for the processing of the project proposal are automatically informed about the project proposal with electronic messages.

Claims

1. A method for a network-supported realization of a project based on a project proposal for the realization of which a sequence of successive work steps to be implemented is provided, comprising:

providing a first electronic page that can be loaded from a first computer with a second computer via an information transfer network, the first electronic page comprising a field in which a project proposal can be entered with the second computer,

automatically creating an electronic file comprising the project proposal;

registering the project proposal in the field;

automatically producing a first electronic message about the electronic file;

automatically transmitting the first electronic message to a first person;

assigning the electronic file to a second person from a first group of people;

automatically producing a second electronic message about the electronic file;

automatically transmitting the second electronic message to the second person;

automatically producing a further electronic message about the electronic file; and

automatically transmitting the further electronic message to a further person or a further group of people that should implement a sequence work step following a preceding implemented work step.

3. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

augmenting the electronic file during at least one of the work steps.

5. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

summarizing the work steps to be implemented of the sequence of work steps to be implemented on a second electronic page.

7. The method according to claim 5, wherein the second electronic page comprises a piece of information about the current work step to be implemented.

9. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

preparing at least a third electronic page that comprises an instruction for at least one work step of the sequence of work steps.

2. A method for network-supported realization of a project based on a project proposal for the realization of which a sequence of successive work steps to be implemented is provided, comprising:

providing a first electronic page that can be loaded from a first computer with a second computer via an information transfer network, the first electronic page comprising a field in which a project proposal can be entered with the second computer;

automatically creating an electronic file comprising the project proposal;

registering the project proposal in the field;

automatically assigning the electronic file to a person from a first group of people;

automatically producing a second electronic message about the electronic file;

automatically transmitting the second electronic message to the person that implements the first work step of the sequence of work steps;

automatically producing a further electronic message about the electronic file; and

automatically transmitting the further electronic message to a further person or a further group of people that should implement a work step of the sequence of work steps that follows a preceding implemented work step.

4. The method according to claim 2, further comprising:

augmenting the electronic file during at least one of the work steps.

6. The method according to claim 2, further comprising:

summarizing the work steps to be implemented of the sequence of work steps to be implemented on a second electronic page.

8. The method according to claim 6, wherein the second electronic page comprises a piece of information about the current work step to be implemented.

10. The method according to claim 2, further comprising:

preparing at least a third electronic page that comprises an instruction for at least one work step of the sequence of work steps.
