Abstract: In one aspect, an example methodology implementing the disclosed techniques can include, by a computing device, identifying a task from a plurality of tasks that need to be scheduled and determining other tasks associated with participants associated with the task. The method may also include, by the computing device, determining one or more periods of time when the participants associated with the task are unavailable and determining one or more candidate time slots for the task based on time slots for which the other tasks are scheduled and the one or more periods of time when the participants associated with the task are unavailable. The method may further include, by the computing device, scheduling the task to be performed during one of the determined one or more candidate time slots.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method includes: receiving, by a computing device, information about a task of application, the task associated with a project; receiving, by the computing device, information about other tasks of the application including other tasks that have been completed and other tasks that have not been completed; calculating, by the computing device, a start date and an expected effort for the task based on analysis of the information received for the task and the other tasks; and causing, by the computing device, an update within the application to apply the calculated start date and expected effort to the task.

Abstract: In one aspect, an example methodology implementing the disclosed techniques can include, by a first computing device, determining two or more of tasks associated with a user and determining, a priority of each task of the two or more tasks based on a deadline and an importance of the task. The method can also include, by the first computing device, determining dependencies between different ones of the two or more tasks and sorting the two or more tasks based on the priority of each task of the two or more tasks and the determined dependencies. The method can also include, by the first computing device, causing at least a portion of the sorted two or more tasks to be displayed in a user interface (UI) of an application on a second computing device.
