Abstract: Systems and methods may include a cloud computing system configured to execute instructions to generate a planning console accessible from an instance provided on a client network, wherein the planning console includes a semi-automated scheduling mode and a project with a plurality of project tasks that include a predecessor task with a planned timing, and wherein executing the instructions includes determining at least one dependency relationship between the predecessor task and at least one successor task, identifying a timing difference between the planned timing and an actual timing of the predecessor task, and generating an one or more user-selectable interaction points, in the semi-automated scheduling mode, to automatically update the project such that the at least one successor task is modified based on the actual timing of the at least one predecessor task and interaction with a second interaction point causes the project to remain the same.

Abstract: Systems and methods are related to a global ranking for a unified list of tasks. From a plurality of work projects each having one or more tasks, a processor may receive a first set of selections of at least two work projects for generating a work backlog having a unified list of tasks. The processor may generate a list of potential tasks to include in the work backlog from the selected work projects. The processor may receive a second set of selections of one or more of the potential tasks to include in the work backlog. The processor may send signals to display the unified list of tasks of the work backlog based on the potential tasks selected. The unified list of tasks comprises at least two types of tasks from two different work projects having disparate priority metrics.
