Abstract: Systems and methods for interactive project management. Features drawn by users on a virtual canvas are converted through the application of transforming rule sets into an action plan consisting of actions and causal relationships defining the order of those actions, or through the application of translating rule sets into secondary forms such as a virtual canvas, a task list, a narrative, a webpage, or a multimedia presentation. Action plans may be edited by multiple users contemporaneously and a server coordinates the edits such that each user maintains an identical and current copy of the action plan.
