Abstract

See full text

In a first project management application, a GET object is created to obtain a deliverable product used in a task, the first project management application managing a dependent plan, the dependent plan including the task. In the GET object, a first field is populated using a project-wide unique plan identifier associated with a delivering plan. To form a logical link in the GET object, a second field is populated using a project-wide unique link identifier associated with a link for the deliverable product between the dependent plan and the delivering plan. In the delivering plan, a construction of a GIVE object is caused corresponding to the deliverable product. To form an actual link in the GET object, a third field is populated with a reference to a GIVE object in the delivering plan. A dependency for the deliverable product is managed using the actual link and the logical link.
