Abstract: An information management and tracking system manages and tracks artifact data relating to the development of a process, the artifact data including data relating to development experiment parameters, results and products. The system includes a data management component and a process design environment for retaining data relating to the process design. A development tracking environment retains data relating to the process development, including the artifacts. A back annotation environment receives process data and provides it to the development tracking environment. The data management component is arranged to control the process design environment, development tracking environment and back annotation environment such that, in use, the data received and stored therein can be accessed in a linked manner such that, in use, a user can obtain data from each environment and view links there between.
