Abstract
Described herein are systems and methods for implementing a task assignment protocol. In one or more embodiments, a task management system receives task data and resource data. Responsive to the receipt, the task management system receives input for selection of a resource. A candidate subset of tasks that match the properties of the resource is then identified. Upon receipt of selection of the candidate task, a task icon updates. The task icon may update to reflect the resource identifier associated the assigned resource. Additionally, or alternatively, a resource icon is updated to reflect the availability of the resource. The protocol repeats until one or more resources are allocated to the tasks. A resource chart additionally displays to aid in evaluation of resource availability.
