Task-oriented development of intelligent information systems

Describes a collection of tools intended to assist a software development team in capturing team knowhow during the development of a prototype system. The tool set is founded on the notion of a task, a software development-related activity carried out by one or more designers collaboratively. The capture and management of such tasks is achieved through tools for acquiring tasks, monitoring the execution of tasks in a prescriptive, descriptive or critiquing mode and the evolution of tasks as team knowledge evolves. Ideas from organizational information systems are imported in order to define a tool for supporting aspects of collaborative work.<
