Embodiment Construction

[0014] As briefly mentioned above, tasks can be visualized and tracked by automatically generating task boards based on data from critical path method based project applications. Subtasks can be presented in task board rows or "layers" by pivoting the summarized task in the project management application. Progress status indicators on task boards (or columns) can be automatically derived from inherent and traditional project management application fields like "Percent Complete." In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof and which show by way of illustration various specific embodiments or examples. These aspects may be combined, other aspects may be utilized, and structural changes may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Accordingly, the following detailed description is not intended to be limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their eq...

Abstract

A hybrid task board and a critical path based project application are described here. Tasks can be visualized and tracked through automatic generation of a task board based on data from a project management application and data transferred from a task board to a project management application. Summary tasks, which represent grouping of related tasks in project management, are pivoted such that sub-tasks can be laid out in task board rows or "stories." Progress status indicators in a task board (or columns) are derived automatically from intrinsic and traditional project management application fields like "percent complete" enabling users to take advantage of traditional project management features such as dependencies, resource leveling, etc., while presenting a simplified and intuitive task board interface to a project manager and / or a project team.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to hybrid task board and project application based on critical path method. Background technique [0002] Many operations of a commercial or non-commercial organization can be defined and structured as projects. Within a structured project, designated individuals plan the schedule, assign resources to tasks, track progress, manage budget, and analyze progress / workload. Project management applications enable users to create critical path schedules and resource allocations in a manual, automated, or semi-automated manner. Scheduling, resource allocation, and other aspects of a project can be visualized in different ways such as a Gantt chart. Some project management applications also provide additional views, such as calendars, tables, and so on. Typical project management applications are relatively complex programs that can interact with other applications like enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications to integrat...
