Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a method, system, and storage medium for performing synchronous quality function deployment (QFD) over a computer network. The computer network includes a real-time server, a lightweight thin client server, a data storage device, and at least two client systems. The system comprises a QFD tool including: a ‘Create New QFD session’ component; an ‘Active QFD session’ component; a ‘Finished QFD session’ component; and a ‘Scheduled QFD session’ component. The lightweight thin client server executes the QFD tool and the client systems access the QFD tool in real time via the real-time server. The ‘Create New QFD session’ component includes instructions for establishing a new QFD session by a user. The ‘Active QFD session’ component includes a listing of QFD sessions that are in progress. The ‘Finished QFD session’ component enables a user to resurrect a completed QFD session.
