Social and Collaborative internet based project management

Project Management is an application area well supported and covered by on the market software and open source solutions. However the focus has been on intra enterprise solutions. Innovative and internet based solutions are needed to promote project management, especially for distributed organizations, not so well covered by existing solutions. Large scale engineering projects are typical examples of distributed projects. The COIN project has identified requirements for development in the area of Collaborative Project Management. Future success in large engineering projects builds on the combination of two paradigms; fully automated and IT supported engineering process and totally networked and efficient global operation. The COIN project develops a Project Alignment Booster for Shared project management and Delegated management responsibility.
