A schedule management system in a managing party connects via a network to one
or more managed parties. The system comprises a schedule table for storing a schedule
created by the managing party. The created schedule is transferred to a common
schedule table provided on a server. The server is provided outside the managing
party. The system provides each of the managed parties with an inquiry means for
inquiring the schedule stored in the common schedule table. When the schedule stored
in the schedule table is modified for some reasons, the modified schedule is transferred
to the common schedule table. Thus, the managed party can view the latest schedule.
Furthermore, each of the managed parties transfers modification data via the modification
means. The system modifies the schedule stored in the schedule table with the received
modification data. The system further displays the progress in a hierarchical format.
The system compares the progress data with the schedule and displays the progress
by a mark assigned in accordance with the comparison result.
