Abstract:
A revision management system includes an inventory group manager (IGM), a work group manager (WGM), and a version manager (VM). The IGM generates and manages one or more lists for each of one or more elements logically related to each other as one or more inventory groups. The IGM also maintains and manages the lists of the elements in the inventory group and provides new elements to be added to the inventory group. The WGM selects the elements relating to a project that require modification. and selects elements from the inventory groups to form a project work group. The VM tracks and manages the modifications to the elements in the project work group, and generates reports with respect to the modifications responsive to user selectable criteria.
