Claim:
1. A method, comprising: analyzing, using a processor, tasks to be performed in an enterprise to determine a criticality of the tasks and an actionability of the tasks, the tasks associated with at least one of maintenance of operations or administrative actions in a process control system of the enterprise, the criticality of respective ones of the tasks based on (1) a severity of a risk associated with at least one of a safety or a reliability of the operations of a component in the process control system if the task is not performed and (2) a significance of a difference in likelihood of the risk being realized if the task is performed relative to the likelihood of the risk being realized if the task is not performed, the actionability of respective ones of the tasks indicative of at least one of a viability or a feasibility of performing the task relative to performing other tasks, wherein the component corresponds to at least one of one or more sites, one or more systems, one or more units, one or more areas, one or more process cells, one or more workstations, one or more software packages, one or more pieces of hardware, or one or more field devices in the process control system; ordering, using the processor, the tasks based on the criticality and the actionability of the tasks; rendering a user interface having multiple views via a display, the user interface providing a first graphic representative of at least a portion of the ordered tasks, wherein the first graphic is a chart having a first axis corresponding to the criticality of the tasks and a second axis corresponding to the actionability of the tasks, the chart to include markers plotted thereon, ones of the markers representative of one or more of the tasks; displaying the chart in a site view of the user interface when the site view for the chart is user-selected via the user interface, wherein the markers are a first set of markers corresponding to different sites within the enterprise when the site view is user-selected; and displaying the chart in a system view of the user interface when the system view for the chart is user-selected via the user interface, wherein the markers are a second set of markers corresponding to different systems within the enterprise when the site view is user-selected, wherein locations of the first set of markers plotted within the chart are different than locations of the second set of markers plotted within the chart.
