  • Publication number: 20080115103
    Abstract: Architecture for generating key performance indicators (KPIs) utilizing collaboration lists developed from collaborative sessions on projects to be completed. A web-based collaborative portal provides users the means to collaborate on projects and generate project task lists. Task lists developed and tracked during the web-based collaborative session can be consumed as data for generation of a KPI. Users can view, create and edit KPIs and monitor KPI status via a web page. When a task list item changes, the associated KPI is dynamically updated as well as the associated web page indicator and associated performance information. KPI values can be computed based on the number of list items, percentage of items that meet predetermined criteria, and/or summary calculations of an item property.
