ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems are provided for intelligently managing project data in a project management application. According to various aspects of the invention, project management data may be loaded and saved to a local cache of a client computer, such as a hard disk cache. The invention also provides a mechanism for reducing the size of data downloaded from and sent to a project server during load and save times.
