SUMMARY PATH IN AN INTERACTIVE GRAPHICAL INTERFACE

Abstract:

Methods to identify summary paths within specific parent task domains within a project enable the efficient computation and display of summary paths in Gantt or other project management structured user interfaces. These methods are computationally more efficient than conventional critical path computations and enable a finer-grained identification of critical tasks or sub-paths. User's may generate summary paths in specific parent domains and identify critical tasks and sub-paths therein faster, with lower computational overhead, and with fewer physical actions.
