Patent ID: 8316371

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for maintaining task hierarchies for multiple projects using a computer server machine having a processor and network connection to a client machine having a computer display, the method comprising: obtaining, using the computer server processor, a user-task list comprising: a first-project task having an initial first-project task score, wherein the first-project task is associated with a first-project, the first-project having a first-project task list including the first-project task, a second-project task having an second-project task score, wherein the second-project task is associated with a second-project, the second-project having a second-project task list including the second-project task, and an initial user-task hierarchy ranking the first-project task and second-project task based on the initial first-project task score and the second-project task score; obtaining, using the computer server processor, a set of parameters associated with the first-project task; determining, using the computer server processor, an updated first-project task score for the first-project task, wherein the updated first-project task score is determined based on the set of parameters; determining, using the computer server processor, an updated user-task hierarchy by ranking the first-project task and the second-project task based on the updated first-project task score and the second-project task score; and displaying, using the client machine computer display, the user-task list to a user in a format depicting the updated user-task hierarchy.
