Systems, methods, and other embodiments for providing management of activities of a project plan associated with a computer application are described. In one embodiment, a calendar view of an activity is edited to change a number of calendar time units over which the activity is to be performed. In response to updating the calendar view of the activity, resource data structures are updated for multiple resources assigned to the activity. The resource data structures are updated to reflect the change in the number of calendar time units for each assigned resource. For each assigned resource, the number of calendar time units corresponds to a period of time for which the resource is assigned to the activity.

Systems, methods, and other embodiments are disclosed that are configured to automatically complete the generation of task structures in a project plan. In one embodiment, user data is generated by monitoring interactions of a user with a computer user interface when forming a task structure in a project plan. The user data is compared to learned behavior data. The learned behavior data represents reusable patterns derived from information associated with user creation of previous task structures. If, based on the comparison, the user data matches a reusable pattern of the learned behavior data, a prompt is displayed to the user indicating an option to accept or reject automated completion of the task structure. In response to receiving an acceptance from the user, the forming of the task structure is automatically completed in the project plan based on the matching reusable pattern.

A system is provided that visualizes soft constraints among tasks. The system displays a chart within a user interface, where the chart includes a timeline including one or more time units. The system further displays task indicators that correspond to tasks within the timeline of the chart. The system further determines a soft constraint among a first task and a second task of the tasks. The system further displays a soft connector that corresponds to the soft constraint within the timeline of the chart, where the soft connector connects a first task indicator that corresponds to the first task with a second task indicator that corresponds to the second task.

A resource staffing manager is provided that manages resource staffing of project teams. A resource demand profile is provided including requirements for roles to be staffed for a project team and an allocated budget for staffing the project team. Based on the resource demand profile, the manager displays a project level graphical user interface that includes a pie chart and a donut chart. The pie chart includes a slice for each of the roles and the donut chart indicates the amount of the allocated budget remaining. Upon selection of a resource to be staffed to one of the roles, the manager updates the slice of the pie chart corresponding to the role to graphically indicate that the selected resource has been selected to be staffed to that role. Based on the selection of the resource, the manager updates the donut chart to indicate the amount of the allocated budget remaining.

Resource demand-based project team staffing

A system is provided that visualizes an allocation of resources. The system displays a chart, where the chart includes a list of tasks and a timeline including time units. The system further displays task indicators within the timeline of the chart, where a task indicator includes task indicator segments, and where an area of a task indicator segment is proportional to a work scope of a resource allocated to a corresponding task. The system further receives a user interaction that includes a movement of the task indicator segment from a first task indicator that corresponds to a first task to a second task indicator that corresponds to a second task. The system further allocates the resource from the first task to the second task. The system further modifies the display of at least one task indicator within the timeline of the chart based on the allocation of the resource.
