C-BRAT™ Project automated communication management includes the process required to insure timely and appropriate generation, collection, dissemination, storage, and ultimate disposition of project information. It provides the critical links between project managers, executives/stakeholders, and team members, with information necessary for project success. The program manager is provided control to set an acceptable level of risk for his project. When the C-BRAT™ Project forecast of cost, schedule, engineering risks and other project attributes begin to exceed the set acceptable levels, C-BRAT™ Project warning panel provides a snap shot of the project health, by identifying the areas of the project needing immediate attention. This also includes both the error log and incidence log of the project. It

	Administrative closure - At project conclusion C-BRAT™ Project administrative closure provides verification and documentation of project results, to formalize acceptance of the project by the customer at no additional cost.
