Abstract
The present invention relates to project and role based workflow systems and methods used in conjunction with e-mail systems and/or the World Wide Web. Project identifiers, the roles of the users in an organization, and/or the organizational structure itself, define the route of the workflow in one or more relational database tables. In an embodiment, rather than creating a different route for each workflow, the route may use role to map the workflow to the e-mail addresses of the people who are to execute the workflow. The role may be specified or may be determined based on other information such as an organization chart. A mapping table can also identify alternate or backup personnel where the role table specifies a list of e-mail addresses with a selection rule.
