Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for generating project plans from project models. In some aspects, a project application can provide a graphical interface responsive to receiving a request to generate a project plan for an organization from a project model. The project application can generate the graphical interface based on the selected project model. The graphical interface can include sections for selecting criteria, such as organizational objectives and risk management factors for the project plan. The project application can select at least one organizational objective and at least one risk management factor based on input received via the graphical interface. The project application can determine a baseline risk associated with the organizational objective and a modification of the baseline risk associated with the risk management factor.

Abstract: To address this and/or other needs, the present inventors have devised a system, method and apparatus for planning and managing engagements associated with fee arrangements. In one exemplary apparatus, a server, particularly a processor within the server, enables the management of a law firm matter project. The exemplary apparatus includes the processor configured to populate a law firm matter project with either a piece of financial information and/or a piece of a matter project template associated with an existing law firm matter project. Moreover, the exemplary apparatus enables a time entry mechanism within an exemplary system. Even moreover, the exemplary apparatus calculates a budget associated with a piece of financial information.
