Dynamic Digital Calendar Day Kanban Board

Abstract

The invention described herein with reference to the drawing figures, with portions of the drawings enumerated and referenced herein. An embodiment in accordance with the present invention discloses and describes the computer implemented method for creating and manipulating a dynamic digital business day Kanban board on a computing device with cards available to users with local and remote access, which allows the users and events to create cards associated with a progress status and behaviors, stored instructions, combined with the ability to group, view, and organize the created cards in a plurality of sections some of which are associated to calendar days. Based on user interactions with the dynamic digital business day Kanban board point value calculations results are created, aggregated, stores, transmitted, and displayed to a number of users. The invention includes a network connected electronic device for receiving instructions from the computing device to represent the dynamic digital business day Kanban board's activity and point value calculation results in a numeric, visual, and auditory manner.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This patent application claims the benefit of the filing date of the U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62 / 514,841 filed on Jun. 3, 2017, and titled “Dynamic Digital Calendar Day Kanban Board,” the entire content of which is hereby expressly incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The modern worker, student, and home maker is increasingly inundated with tasks, reminders, notes, and the like, that one must organize and manage in order to successfully complete one's duties. Additionally, the modern person must be flexible and agile in one's approach to managing one's work to keep pace with the ever changing and demanding environment be it work, school, or home.[0003]The increased volume of tasks, reminders, and notes and the like (“Action Items”) that a person must manage in the current, complex, rapidly changing environment has led many individuals, that work in accounting offices, go to school, or manage a hou...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0007]The dynamic digital Kanban board allows for task, reminder, and note management to be both visual, agile, and simple but allows tasks, reminders, and notes to be highly structured around business and work days or calendar days.

[0009]Each section has further subsections relating to each card's potential progress status. This allows all the cards associated with a specific calendar day section to be viewed in isolation in a visual, agile, and simple representation based on progress status.

[0010]The invention also allows for cards to have specific automatic behaviors that allow for cards representing common and frequent tasks, reminders, and notes to be duplicated and associated with multiple sections which are associated with different calendar days.

Problems solved by technology

These methods work well for individuals with Action Items that have need to be completed on or by a particular day or time, but at the same time, these methods are a bit clumsy in the shadow of the modern environment.

Recreating a new checklist to accommodate frequent updates or mixing completed and incomplete Action Items on a single list can cause confusion and distract from the remaining Action Items which still need attention.

Using calendar appointments is not much better, while Action Items on the current day get attention, any uncompleted Action Items from previous days are hopelessly left behind, unless one religiously engages in rescheduling all uncompleted Action Items at the end of every day.

These methods leave a person spending a much greater portion of one's time than desired to simply manage the Action Items rather than actually taking action.

Additionally, these methods are very personalized and local which works poorly to meet the collaborative or remote management needs often needed in the modern environment.

The structure provided by these methods and the strong likelihood that one' Action Items have to be completed on or by a particular calendar day or at a time make these methods difficult to abandon, however, these methods lack the flexibility and agility needed by most workers, students, and home makers in the modern environment.

Because it lacks a strong dependence on the calendar day, this agile method works poorly in structured accounting environments, traditional classrooms and home environments, in which Actions Items are common, recurring, and completion is highly dependent on a particular calendar day or time.
