Abstract: A computer system for document includes a SQL database for storing information related to the document review and a time-tracker portal for tracking time worked on the documents to be reviewed. A separate Document Management Application is provided for entering information into the database and a further User Interface is provided for managing the document review project. These combined applications are system agnostic and can be run on any operating system and on separate computers communicating over a network, e.g. the WWW. A key aspect of the system is the ability to track the time worked by document reviewers in near real-time, in contrast to previous hourly or quarter-hourly levels. The method of the present invention provides customized reporting and forecasting based upon numerous provided metrics or user-customizable metrics.
