METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING MEMBERSHIP OF COMMUNICATION CHANNELS ASSOCIATED WITH PROJECTS OF AN ENTERPRISE ENTITY

According to one embodiment, a customer relationship management (CRM) system is queried to obtain a list of projects that are associated with a particular user. A subset of the projects is selected from the list. Each of the projects in the subset includes an attribute that has been set to a predetermined attribute value or attribute state by the user (e.g., flagged, starred, a checkbox). For each of the projects in the subset, a communication channel (e.g., an instant messaging or IM system, an email group, a group chat, a social network community) associated with the project is identified. It is determined whether the user is already a member of the communication channel. If the user is not a member of the communication channel, the user is automatically added to the communication channel without user intervention from the user.
