Within project management the tracking of actions for project meetings is undertaken through templates within standard office productivity tools which in common with dedicated meeting minute software and meeting software tools stand independent of project management software tools and manufacturing resource planning tools. The result is that users typically have actions arising from multiple projects each of which have multiple discrete and separate meetings occurring at different frequencies such that they must access a variety of documents in different tools to track meetings, actions given, action status etc. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to provide enterprises and users with a meeting management / action tracking software tool that supports interfaces with project management tools, manufacturing resource planning tools, customer management tools etc. so that they can obtain a centralized perspective of their actions across multiple projects and access real time information within meetings.

A control automation tool (“CAT”) is configured for supporting discrete management of controls and their corresponding metrics. The control automation tool includes a software application connected with, stored on, and executed by one or more relational, closed-loop data repositories and computer systems.
