Patent number: 8010395Abstract: A program storage device for coordinating a project for designing, implementing, and using a general procurement and accounts payable (GP/AP) system for a customer. A playbook database is created and includes templates of information relating to designing, implementing, and using the GP/AP system. The templates are particularized for the customer. A playbook summary view is generated from the playbook database. The playbook summary view displays a folders and views section, a task title display and selection area, a summary task creation button, and a detailed task creation button, which visually appear together in an undivided display area within the playbook summary view. Communication is between team members of a team and the playbook database via a server coupled to the playbook database and an intranet coupled to both the server and the team members. The team members have responsibility for the designing and implementing of the GP/AP system.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2008Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ray F. Barnard, Carl S. Baumann, Philip J. Cirulli, Kerin J. Flannery, Carl J. Lanuti, John I. Munson, Karl J. Ritch
