Micro-Agreements are the small gestures of mutual accountability that tie us together as a high-performance team.  The Demand! Management™ platform is a system for building secure Web applications that facilitate mutual accountability through Micro-Agreements.

At present, the system is used primarily in support of high-tech project management and the workflow related to medical billing, where patients’ medical information must be shared in compliance with Federal HIPAA requirements for electronic document sharing.

The workflow facilitation features worthy of mention in this quick summary include these:

• Request for Commitment — You can assign a task to another member. The system sends an e-mail notification requesting that they commit to owning responsibility for completing the task.
• Commitment Acceptance Notifications — When a member commits to owning responsibility for a task (or declines responsibility), the system notifies the person who sent the Request for Commitment (and, of course, the person who accepted or declined).
• Auto-nagging — The system can send a periodic reminder that you haven’t yet accepted or declined a Request for Commitment for a task assigned to you.
• Request for a Status Update — The system can send to the owner of a task a request that they update the status of the task so others can see a revised statement about its status.
• New Member Invitations — Each member can invite new members to participate in the secure workflow of their organization and/or project. The prospective member receives an e-mail notification with a link to the intake processing page where they authenticate a secure login account. This process insures that you always know who has access to what documents and Web pages. Privacy and security are the top priorities of the Demand! Management™ system!
