Methods and system consistent with the present invention provide a workflow
modeling and project planning integration tool that allows a user to model a business
process or workflow, to create and activate a project plan based on the workflow,
and to track the progress of the activated project plan. The tool also allows the
workflow to be reused to create more than one project plan based on the workflow.
Moreover, the tool simultaneously manages the execution of the plans. The integration
tool may include a Web-based "Distributed Authoring and Versioning" (WebDAV) server
that operates as a virtual file system for computers on a network to allow more
than one user on different computer systems to view the same workflow or project
plan, monitor the progress of an activated project plan, or simultaneously create
and activate different plans from the same workflow.
