Patent ID: 7970639

Claim:
A computer-implemented method comprising: storing data in a memory of a computer system, the data corresponding to a project, the project comprising a plurality of tasks; generating an electronic chart on the computer system based on the data in said memory, the electronic chart comprising a plurality of task regions separated by task boundaries, wherein the plurality of tasks are displayed in corresponding task regions, wherein each task region corresponds to one particular task, wherein the task regions are arranged to form a symmetric geometric shape around a geometric center, the task regions forming wedge shapes that extend outward from the center, wherein the task boundaries extend radially outward from the center between the task regions, the task boundaries representing timelines, and wherein the center represents to a point in time stored in said data corresponding to the particular project, and wherein durations of the plurality of tasks are indicated radially along the task boundaries, wherein each of the plurality of tasks is displayed between a first radial position having a first radial distance from the center corresponding to a first time and a second radial position having a second radial distance from the center corresponding to a second time; and outputting the electronic chart to a display of the computer system.
