Patent ID: 7729939

Claim:
A computerized method for modeling multiple tasks for multiple users, the computerized method using at least one processor apparatus to carry out the method comprising the steps of: breaking a language into component parts, including at least verbs, and objects; creating at least one tasking horizon; combining the component parts to create at least one language combination, said at least one combination including verbs and objects, which are stored on a computer-readable storage medium along with at least one task; said method of modeling further comprising: receiving at least one task for the project; activating at least one of said tasking horizons, said tasking horizon comprising one of a plurality of time frames over which said at least one task can be completed; receiving an actual date for said at least one of said multiple tasks; receiving an estimated date for said at least one task; using one of the processor apparatuses comprising at least one computer processor to calculate a first negative churn if said received estimated date is created in or moved into said tasking horizon; using said processor apparatus to calculate a first positive churn if said received estimated date is deleted or moved out of said tasking horizon; using said processor apparatus to calculate a second positive churn if said received estimated date exists in said tasking horizon and said received actual date is moved out of or is created outside of said tasking horizon; using said processor apparatus to calculate a third positive churn if said received actual date is moved out of said current tasking horizon and an accompanying received estimated date is not in said current tasking horizon; using said processor apparatus to calculate a second negative churn when said received actual date is created in or is moved into said current tasking horizon and said received estimated date is not in said current tasking horizon; and receiving language that corresponds to said actual date, wherein the verb describes a reason for said actual date and for said churn; wherein said at least one tasking horizon is task independent.
