Abstract

See full text

A method and system to convert project plans into workflow definitions are described. The system includes a project information reader, a workflow metadata converter, a workflow steps converter, and a workflow phases converter. The project information reader is adapted to receive project data associated with a project. The workflow metadata converter is adapted to convert the project header into workflow metadata. The workflow steps converter is adapted to convert the project task into a workflow step. The workflow phases converter is adapted to convert a milestone associated with the project data into a workflow phase. In an event where there are no the milestones associated with the project data, the workflow phases converter creates a workflow phase if it is determined that the workflow process requires a workflow phase. The system further includes a roles module to assign a role to the workflow step.
