Abstract: A system and method for improving and/or repairing data structures in databases or other structured data such as in project management computer software. Such project management software includes complicated data structures, which are prone to developing inconsistencies and errors over time. The system or method takes snapshots of datasets from the project management software at periodic points in time, ingests the data and maps it to internal data objects. This allows an analytics engine to efficiently perform a range of validation checks for anomalies and other issues that contravene Agile rules by identifying dependencies between individual work task entities and creating links in the data objects to other data objects representing those dependencies. Thus, the system may indicate to the user issues with the data, automate repair of the data structures and provide tools for the user to quicky and efficiently fix the source data.
