Abstract: A computer system for managing workflow relating to a topic shared among a team of users includes a creation unit (109a, 109b, 109c). The creation unit (109a, 109b, 109c) facilitates creating topics (103) and assigning a priority to each of the topics. A topic assignment unit (111a, 111b, 111c) facilitates tasking a topic to an owner, and associating the topic with a team, the owner and the originator being members of the team. A communication production unit (113a, 113b, 113c) facilitates producing communications (101) responsive to the topic and automatically associated with the topic. The communication (101) is initiated by a team member, assigned an urgency reflecting a deadline and an importance selected by the team member, and automatically associated with the priority assigned to the topic.
