Claim:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to visually represent a planning structure, the representing comprising: displaying a first node that represents a first element of the planning structure and a first value associated with the first element within a user interface, wherein the first node comprises a first outline; receiving a first user interaction that comprises a movement of a cursor over the first node in a first direction; generating a second element and a third element within the planning structure in response to the first user interaction, wherein the second element and the third element are children of the first element; generating a second value associated with the second element and a third value associated with the third element, wherein a combination of the second value and the third value is equal to the first value; displaying a second node that represents the second element of the planning structure and the second value, and a third node that represents the third element of the planning structure and the third value within the user interface, wherein the second node and the third node each comprise the first outline; displaying a first line between the first node and the second node and a second line between the first node and the third node within the user interface, wherein the first line and the second line each represent a parent-child relationship; receiving a third user interaction that comprises a placement of the cursor in a position within a pre-determined distance from the first node; displaying the second value and the third value within the first node within the user interface; and modifying a display of the first node to comprise a second outline instead of the first outline, wherein the first, second and third values represent a metric associated with a corresponding associated element.
