[0024] For ease of explanation, we will first introduce some concepts that may be involved in this disclosure.

[0025] Project management system: A software system used to help project teams plan, organize, execute, and monitor project processes.

[0026] Space is a basic unit of organizational collaboration; it can be the management of a single project or a collection of multiple projects.

[0027] A work item is a collaborative task performed by a team, or it can be a collection of tasks broken down from a project. Work items can be categorized into different types based on their content, such as requirements, defects, versions, iterations, milestones, and deliverables.

[0028] A feature is a software function that a user needs to solve a problem or achieve a goal. It can help team members track specific details.

[0029] A defect (Issue) refers to something that does not meet the originally defined business requirements. For example, a pop-up window may not display.

[0030] A view is a collection of frequently viewed work items within a team, solidified into a single, structured view. Views can take many forms, such as tables, lists, Kanban boards, Gantt charts, and metrics. Tables can be arrangements of fields, arranged in cell format. Gantt charts can display project progress using bar charts over time. Metrics are the continuous, quantitative process of defining, collecting, and analyzing data related to software development projects, processes, and products. Examples include requirement throughput, quality, cycle time, and manpower estimation.

[0031] A role is one of the various roles involved in a project. A project requires the cooperation and support of different roles.

[0032] A WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) plan is a work breakdown structure plan that can also be called a WBS plan or simply a plan.

[0033] A process, the basic steps in the lifecycle of a task, is composed of process nodes and execution methods in an orderly manner. A node can refer to a stage division point in the process.

[0034] The node leader is the person responsible for the node's tasks. This person may or may not be the one who processes the node's tasks.

[0035] A node participant is someone who processes node tasks, but is not responsible for those tasks.

[0036] A sub-process node is a subdivided area or task package within a large planning process. Other processes introduced into a process are called sub-processes in the current process. Sub-process nodes can be further broken down into other nodes.

[0037] Subtasks are simple tasks at the end of a process, where personnel break down or record the current to-do items for the project.

[0038] Sub-tasks represent more detailed task management at the end of the process, allowing frontline staff to break down or record the current tasks to be done in the project.

[0039] Schedule; the time arrangement for a particular activity or task.

[0040] Planned duration: The number of days for a particular activity or task minus the number of working days.

[0041] Estimate the actual number of people and days invested.

[0042] Actual working hours, the actual number of hours worked.

[0043] In one or more embodiments of this disclosure, the project manager can configure a work item view within a sub-work item node. The work item view can display the associated deliverables corresponding to each sub-work item. The associated deliverables corresponding to the project sub-work items can be preset or configured in the work item view.

[0044] In one or more embodiments of this disclosure, a project sub-work item can be a project sub-work item or a project sub-process. In this case, the project can be regarded as a work item. It can be understood that a sub-work item is relative to the project, and a sub-work item can also be a work item.

[0045] In one or more embodiments of this disclosure, sub-work items can be associated with and display existing deliverables of the project. It is understood that deliverables are not necessarily sub-items of the aforementioned sub-work items; therefore, it is necessary to establish an association between deliverables and the aforementioned sub-work items to associate and display the deliverables on the display interface of the aforementioned sub-work items.

[0046] In one or more embodiments of this disclosure, a sub-work item may include a review element node.

[0047] In one or more embodiments of this disclosure, if associated deliverables (fields, work items) are configured in the review element work item, the specific content can be viewed by entering the review element details page during the review.

[0048] In one or more embodiments of this disclosure, review representatives check whether the deliverables associated with the review elements they are responsible for are sufficient and follow up on their completion status; if supplementation is needed, deliverables already generated by the associated preceding nodes can be added. During the cross-review phase, the review team reviews the deliverables associated with each review element and determines the review conclusion based on the completion status of the deliverables.

[0049] In one or more embodiments of this disclosure, during the review conclusion summary stage, the summarized review element conclusions and their associated deliverables can be viewed.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 1 This illustrates a flow diagram of an embodiment of a project management method according to the present disclosure. This embodiment can be applied to a project management system. Figure 1The project management method shown includes the following steps:

[0051] Step 101: Create a new project instance.

[0052] In this embodiment, the executing entity (e.g., a terminal or server) can create a new project instance. The project instance may include a first working item.

[0053] The first work item can be a first-level (child) or multi-level (grandchild or lower-level) sub-item of the project's root work item. As an example, based on the first work item, decisions related to the project can be made, such as starting, scheduling, or ending the project.

[0054] In this embodiment, the specific business meaning of the first work item is not limited. Optionally, the first work item can be a review element node, a project start node, a project closure node, an iterative sub-work item, etc.

[0055] Step 102: Obtain the pre-configured sub-item resources for the first work item, and obtain the first association relationship of the sub-item resources.

[0056] In some scenarios, project administrators can configure the first work item for a project and its sub-items on the project configuration side. The project and the first work item configured on the project configuration side must be instantiated on the instance side to form an instance.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first association indicates that the deliverables of the second work item are associated with the sub-item resource. Optionally, the associated deliverables can be field deliverables or work item deliverables.

[0058] Step 103: Generate a sub-item instance of the first working item based on the sub-item resources.

[0059] Sub-item resources can provide templates for sub-items. For example, following the path of "Preset Sub-items - Added from Resource Library", select the element resources maintained within the "Review Element" work item as preset review elements (i.e., sub-item resources); when there are many preset elements, the target element can be quickly located through filtering / sorting / grouping. Review element resources can include resource name, creator, visibility conditions, etc.

[0060] The configuration information of the sub-item resources can be used to generate a sub-item instance of the first working item.

[0061] As an example, the first work item can be a review element node, and the sub-item instances of the first work item can be specific review elements. In some scenarios, such as general review scenarios, whether the review elements are satisfied at each decision review point requires corresponding supporting materials, and these materials are generated in the preceding or other related work items.

[0062] Step 104: Determine the associated deliverables of the sub-item instance based on the first association relationship.

[0063] Step 105: Display the associated deliverables information of the sub-item instance.

[0064] In this embodiment, the associated deliverables of a sub-item instance and the associated deliverable information of the sub-item instance can be determined.

[0065] In this embodiment, the associated deliverable information may include several pieces of information about the associated deliverable.

[0066] Optionally, a child item instance can be associated with one or more deliverables.

[0067] Therefore, the associated deliverable information can be displayed as part of the sub-item instance.

[0068] The second work item to which the associated deliverable belongs can be a different work item than the first work item.

[0069] In this embodiment, when obtaining sub-item instance data, the preset data of the associated deliverable control field is automatically obtained to obtain the associated deliverable information corresponding to the sub-item instance.

[0070] It should be noted that the project management method provided in the embodiments of this disclosure can create a new project instance, wherein the project instance includes a first work item; obtain pre-configured sub-item resources for the first work item, and obtain a first association relationship of the sub-item resources, wherein the association relationship indicates that the deliverables of a second work item are associated with the sub-item resources; generate a sub-item instance of the first work item based on the sub-item resources; determine the deliverables associated with the sub-item instance based on the first association relationship; and display the associated deliverable information associated with the sub-item instance. Therefore, this not only improves project management efficiency but also standardizes business processes from a technical perspective, improving project accuracy. Improved project management efficiency: Automatically displaying and updating associated deliverable information based on association relationships can reduce a large number of repetitive operations on the instance side, improving the management efficiency of processes in the project system. Improved project accuracy: Setting the sub-item instances that the first work item needs to set in the process configuration avoids distortion of process actions.

[0071] In contrast, in related technologies, the specific content of sub-item instances (such as documents used as review elements) needs to be manually uploaded by relevant personnel, and existing deliverables cannot be referenced, nor can the first work item be linked to deliverables in other processes.

[0072] The present disclosure provides a method that establishes a relationship between the sub-items of a first work item and the deliverables of other work items, cleverly using the work results of other work items as reference information for the first work item, reducing the operational steps of preparing and automatically updating the first work item, and improving project management efficiency and the accuracy of project processes.

[0073] In some scenarios, the associated deliverable information includes one or more of the following: deliverable name, content information, status, and source information.

[0074] Content information can indicate part or all of the content of an associated deliverable. It's understood that the specific content of a deliverable may be extensive or sparse. For deliverables with limited content (e.g., field deliverables), all content can be displayed; for deliverables with extensive content, partial content or links to content can be displayed.

[0075] Status can indicate whether a deliverable has been submitted.

[0076] Source information can indicate the work item to which the deliverable belongs.

[0077] Therefore, intuitive information about related work items can be displayed on the first work item interface, improving the intuitiveness of the first work item display and increasing the efficiency of the project workflow.

[0078] In some embodiments, the content information includes a content viewing control.

[0079] As an example, the content viewer control can trigger corresponding actions; the content viewer control can indicate the specific contents of the deliverable.

[0080] The method further includes: displaying the deliverable content of the associated deliverable in response to a trigger operation on the content viewing control.

[0081] Therefore, during the browsing process of the first work item interface, the contents of the deliverables can be viewed quickly, improving the efficiency of deliverable viewing and the efficiency of the project process.

[0082] In some embodiments, the association relationship of associated deliverables may include a first association relationship and / or a second association relationship, wherein the first association relationship indicates an association relationship configured in the process configuration interface on the configuration side, and the second association relationship indicates an association relationship added in the instance-side interface.

[0083] The associations obtained from the configuration side of the project can be called the first association; the associations obtained from the instance side of the project can be called the second association.

[0084] Optionally, the configuration interface for the first work item on the project's configuration side can display information about associated deliverables determined based on the first association relationship.

[0085] Optionally, the instance-side interface of the project can display information about associated deliverables determined based on the first and second association relationships.

[0086] Therefore, by configuring associations on the configuration side, the efficiency of configuring common associations in project management can be improved, avoiding repetitive operations caused by configuring common associations for each instance individually, and improving operational efficiency.

[0087] Therefore, by configuring associations on the instance side, associations can be flexibly added for the actual scenario of a single instance, improving the operational flexibility and accuracy of a single instance and enhancing project management efficiency.

[0088] In some embodiments, the method further includes: creating a new resource item in the resource library that corresponds to the work item type.

[0089] In some embodiments, the sub-item resource is generated by reusing the target resource item in the resource library.

[0090] In some scenarios, a resource library can be enabled, which pre-configures resource items corresponding to the work item type of the first work item.

[0091] For example, review elements can be pre-configured in the resource library.

[0092] This reduces the need to repeatedly create the same seed item, improving project management efficiency. For example, the first work item could be a review element, with review element resources maintained through a resource repository. For instance, if the total number of element resources is 200, then the provisioned deliverables only need to process 200 review element resources. Review element instances can be created from review element resources each time, improving the efficiency of creating review element instances.

[0093] In some embodiments, the method further includes: displaying a resource library control on a first work item configuration interface of project management; in response to a trigger operation on the resource library control, retrieving resource items from the resource library corresponding to the work item type of the first work item as candidate resource items, and displaying the candidate resource items; and selecting at least one candidate resource item as a sub-item resource of the first work item according to a resource item selection operation.

[0094] For example, please refer to Figure 3A , Figure 3B , Figure 3C , Figure 3D , Figure 3E , Figure 3A , Figure 3B , Figure 3C , Figure 3D , Figure 3E An exemplary scenario is shown where the associated deliverables are configured for the first work item on the configuration side.

[0095] exist Figure 3A In the middle, you can display the node sub-items configured for node A2.

[0096] like Figure 3B As shown, you can add the first work item as a node child item from the resource library.

[0097] trigger Figure 3B The configuration controls in the document can display, for example... Figure 3C The configuration interface shown. Figure 3C The configuration interface allows you to add associated deliverables to sub-items that are sub-items of the first work item.

[0098] In some embodiments, the method further includes: displaying a sub-item configuration control corresponding to a sub-item resource on a first work item configuration interface; displaying an associated deliverable selection control in response to a trigger operation on the sub-item configuration control; and determining a first association relationship of the sub-item resource based on the operation on the associated deliverable selection control.

[0099] trigger Figure 3C The Add Associated Deliverables control in the document can display items such as... Figure 3D and Figure 3E The selection interface shown. Figure 3D and Figure 3E The selection interface shown allows you to configure the association between deliverables and their sub-resources. Configuring the association can include selecting the association path (e.g., ...). Figure 3D (as shown) and select specific deliverables (such as...) Figure 3E (As shown).

[0100] In some embodiments, the method further includes: displaying a display condition configuration control in response to a triggering operation on a sub-item configuration control; and determining display conditions for the sub-item resource based on the operation on the display condition configuration control, wherein the display conditions indicate the visibility of the sub-item resource (e.g., ...). Figure 3C and Figure 3D (As shown).

[0101] In some scenarios, the deliverables associated with the sub-items of the first work item need to be pre-configured by the administrator. The business meaning of each sub-item resource item is definite, and the corresponding deliverables that need to be associated as a reference can be determined in the early stages of the project.

[0102] Therefore, configuring the relationships between sub-items and deliverables of the first work item on the configuration side can not only improve project management efficiency but also standardize business processes and improve project accuracy from a technical perspective. Improving project management efficiency: Based on business attributes, resources for the first work item should by default be configured with the same batch of field deliverables. Pre-defined relationship records on the resources can reduce a large number of repetitive operations on the user side.

[0103] As an example, the first task could be review elements, which are maintained through a resource library. For instance, if the total number of element resources is 200, then the pre-built deliverables only need to process 200 review elements. If, on the instance side, a review representative or designated person associates the deliverables, the workload of material preparation increases exponentially as the number of review element instances doubles. Improving project accuracy: The business requirement of which supporting materials are needed for review elements is solidified in the process configuration to avoid distortion of review actions.

[0104] In some embodiments of this disclosure, an associated deliverable information display area indicated by an associated deliverable control can be displayed on the instance side.

[0105] [Configuring Associated Deliverable Controls] In some embodiments of this disclosure, process administrators can configure associated deliverable controls on work item table pages and form pages.

[0106] In some embodiments, the method further includes: configuring an associated deliverable control for a first work item in a first work item configuration interface of project management; wherein the first work item configuration interface is used to configure the display style of the first work item, and the display interface of the first work item with the associated deliverable control configured includes an associated deliverable information display area.

[0107] For example, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 The configuration interface for the first task item is shown. Figure 2 In the middle, you can configure associated deliverable controls (such as the associated deliverable table column) for the first work item.

[0108] After configuring the associated deliverable control on the configuration side, when the first work item is displayed on the instance side or the configuration side, the display area set for the associated deliverable can be displayed.

[0109] For example, please refer to Figure 4A This shows the associated deliverables table columns on the instance side.

[0110] This allows for the addition of associated deliverable controls on the configuration side, enabling the project to configure whether the first work item is associated with deliverables of other work items. This improves the flexibility of project management.

[0111] In some embodiments, the method further includes: determining deliverables associated with a sub-item instance based on the second association, wherein the second association indicates an association added on a first work item interface on the instance side.

[0112] In some embodiments, the method further includes: displaying an add association control corresponding to a sub-item instance of the first work item, wherein the add association control is used to add a second association relationship between the sub-item instance and the deliverable; and displaying a delete association control corresponding to the associated deliverable information on the first work item interface, wherein the delete association control is used to delete the second association relationship.

[0113] On the instance side, new sub-items can be added to the first work item. New associations can also be configured for sub-items configured on the configuration side or added on the instance side (indicating the association between the sub-item instance and deliverables in other work items), thereby introducing new associated deliverables.

[0114] On the instance side, deleting an associated control removes the association relationship, and consequently, the deliverable information indicated by that association relationship is also deleted. It's important to note that deleting an associated control does not affect the deliverables of the second work item themselves.

[0115] It is understandable that after a deliverable is deleted from the second work item, the interface of the first work item may temporarily not display the associated deliverable information if the relationship still exists; once the second work item has deliverables, the interface of the first work item can automatically display the deliverable information of the second work item.

[0116] Deleting associated controls can delete the associated relationships, including secondary associated relationships; deleting associated controls cannot delete the associated relationships configured on the configuration side.

[0117] In some embodiments, the method further includes: in the project sub-item instance interface, not displaying the delete association control for the associated deliverable information generated based on the first association relationship.

[0118] Therefore, it is possible to avoid deleting the associations configured on the configuration side at the instance side. In other words, the associations configured on the configuration side have the meaning of specifying the associations, which ensures that the process follows the actions indicated by the configuration side, thus guaranteeing the standardization and accuracy of the process.

[0119] For example, please refer to Figure 4A , Figure 4B and Figure 4C , Figure 4A , Figure 4B and Figure 4C An exemplary first work item interface (e.g., review element interface) is shown on the instance side.

[0120] exist Figure 4A and Figure 4B In this context, the review element interface can be a sub-interface of the workflow interface. The review element interface, based on... Figure 2 The display style of the review elements is determined in the review element configuration interface shown. Figure 4A Information about associated deliverables that are currently collapsed is displayed. Figure 4B It displays information about associated deliverables in an expanded state (e.g., deliverable content, status, and operation method).

[0121] exist Figure 4C The image shows the details page for review element Y2. Within this page, the associated deliverables section displays information about the associated deliverables for review element Y2. Figure 4C The text shows an example of an "Add Association" control (labeled with the word "Add Association"), used to add an association between review element Y2 and deliverables to introduce associated deliverables. Figure 4C The text shows a delete association control (marked with delete association control), which is used to delete the association between deliverable and review element Y2, thereby deleting the associated deliverable information.

[0122] In some embodiments, the method further includes: in response to the failure of an association (the first association or the second association), deleting the associated deliverable information of the failed association indication in the first work item interface.

[0123] A broken association relationship occurs when the association path indicated by the association relationship has a break. The association path can indicate the path between the work item containing the first work item and the deliverable.

[0124] As an example, the first work item is called A. A is a sub-item of process B. B is a sub-item of work item C. Work item C is associated with work item D. The target work item E is a sub-item of work item D. Deliverable F is the deliverable of target work item E. Therefore, the association path between A and deliverables can include ABCDEF. Deleting any node in this association path (e.g., B, C, D, E, and F are nodes) or breaking any relationship (e.g., the relationship between nodes is broken) will cause the association to fail. In response to the failure of the association, the associated deliverable information in the first work item can be deleted.

[0125] Therefore, based on the validity of the association relationship, it can be determined whether to display the associated deliverable information, thereby improving the degree and accuracy of automatic updates of the associated deliverable information.

[0126] Further reference Figure 5 As an implementation of the methods shown in the above figures, this disclosure provides an embodiment of a project management device, which is similar to... Figure 1Corresponding to the method embodiments shown, this device can be specifically applied to various electronic devices.

[0127] like Figure 5 As shown, the project management device in this embodiment includes: a creation unit 501 for creating a new project instance, wherein the project instance includes a first work item; an acquisition unit 502 for acquiring pre-configured sub-item resources for the first work item, and acquiring a first association relationship of the sub-item resources, wherein the first association relationship indicates that the deliverables of a second work item are associated with the sub-item resources; a generation unit 503 for generating a sub-item instance of the first work item based on the sub-item resources; a determination unit 504 for determining the associated deliverables of the sub-item instance based on the first association relationship; and a display unit 505 for displaying the associated deliverable information of the sub-item instance.

[0128] In this embodiment, the specific processing of the creation unit 501, acquisition unit 502, generation unit 503, determination unit 504, and display unit 505 of the project management device, and the resulting technical effects, can be referred to respectively. Figure 1 The relevant descriptions of steps 101, 102, 103, 104 and 105 in the corresponding embodiments will not be repeated here.

[0129] Therefore, during project execution, existing project deliverables can be associated with and displayed for sub-item instances, improving project progress efficiency.

[0130] In some embodiments, the sub-item resource is generated by reusing a target resource item in a resource library; and the apparatus is further configured to: display a resource library control in a first work item configuration interface of project management; in response to a trigger operation on the resource library control, retrieve a resource item corresponding to the work item type of the first work item from the resource library as a candidate resource item, and display the candidate resource item; and select at least one candidate resource item as a sub-item resource of the first work item according to a resource item selection operation.
