Step 3. Consider using computer-based project management systems and procedures to help coordinate the data collection efforts.

You work at a university research center that provides you with access to a Web-based network. On a network server, you will create a project management Web site that can only be accessed by project staff. You will post your timeline on the Web site and allow task leaders special privileges to mark tasks completed on it. The university's system also allows you to post and update document versions, and is programmed by network administrators to do a weekly automatic backup of your files on the server.
