Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and related system for assisting and expediting an organization production of a more mature product. The method and system may include implementation of processes using a combination of both electronic hardware and software and implementation locally or over a network such as an intranet or the Internet. In another embodiment, the method may be implemented using a document management system to administer files related to the steps in the method. These files may assist a user in the creation of required documentation. A document management tool may be integrated with the document management system to associate documentation with steps in the method. A navigator tool may be employed to create a graphical display of the steps in the method using data contained in the files. Another embodiment of the present invention uses WebDAV-based communication to coordinate access to multiple document repositories.

Abstract: Project information relating to a project is received, the project information identifying a project type, an authorized write entity, and an authorized approval entity, and a valid metric is selected based at least on the project type, the valid metric measuring an aspect of performance of the project. Base measures corresponding to the valid metric are received from the authorized write entity, the base measures further including periodic base measures corresponding to at least one metric period, and aperiodic base measures corresponding to an aperiodic incident, and the valid metric is calculated based on the base measures. The base measures are sorted into excluded base measures and non-excluded base measures, organizational baseline data is imported, and an organizational indicator is calculated based on the non-excluded base measures and the organizational baseline data.
