Abstract: A technique includes receiving a plurality of metrics for a plurality of tasks associated with developing an application, where each of the metrics is associated with one of the tasks and indicates a progress of the associated task. The technique includes receiving weights, where each weight is associated with one of the tasks and indicates a user assigned importance of the associated task. The technique includes displaying with the tool an indicator to allow regulation of task development, where the displaying includes causing the tool to prioritize the tasks for future development of the application based at least in part on the metrics and the weights.

Abstract: An object tagging method includes causing, in a user interface displaying managed objects, a display of a plurality of user defined classification controls proximal to the objects. The classification controls are caused to be displayed such that user interface actions can visually link any plurality of the managed objects to any given one of the classification controls. A user interface action visually linking a selected one of the objects to a selected one of the classification controls is, and the selected one of the objects is tagged with data corresponding to the selected one of the classification controls.
