Bendruomeninių paslaugų apibrėžimas dar nėra galutinai susiformavęs ir naudojami įvairūs jo variantai priklausomai nuo konteksto.

Siekiant apjungti projektų valdymą su bendruomeninėmis paslaugomis, darbe nagrinėjamas jų integracijos variantas. Aptariami naudojami programų kūrimo modeliai, apžvelgiami susiję sprendimai, jų teikiamas funkcionalumas. Darbe pateikiamas įgyvendintos projektų valdymo sistemos su integruotomis bendruomeninėmis paslaugomis aprašas, jos esminės savybės. Atliekamas eksperimentinis bendruomeninių projektų kūrimo savybių tyrimas, kurio metu tiriamas bendruomenės narių indėlis projekto maste, bei narių prisijungimo prie projekto tendencijos. / The definition of crowdsourcing is not yet fully formed and is used in various versions, depending on the context.
