Abstract: Systems and methods of managing a workflow of an oilfield activity are provided. A problem in the oilfield activity is identified, where the oilfield activity includes a number of tasks necessary to complete a project of a number of projects in the workflow, and where the number of tasks are arranged within a number of workflow states associated with the oilfield activity. A sequence for the number of tasks is selectively updated based on an analysis of the oilfield activity performed by a user. The project is analyzed by examining a progress of the project within one of the number of workflow states to obtain a decision, where the project is associated with the problem. The problem is resolved in the oilfield activity based on the decision.
