    Abstract: A graph of tasks and people operated on are incrementally created as nodes in a social network. Task nodes may be created in the social network to represent one or more tasks. A people node in the social network may follow other people nodes and also follow the one or more task nodes, and have one or more tasks associated with the task nodes assigned to one or more people nodes. Projects are run in a self-organizing way by operating on a graph of tasks and people that evolves over the course of the project representing the current state and upon completion representing the entire project state and history including all work results, tasks and people who contributed.
