6 . The article of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

identify, using a task database, the second plurality of work tasks as assigned to the user.

7 . The article of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

generate the first priority profile based on a user context of the user.

8 . A method for prioritizing work tasks, comprising:

generating, using a processor, a first prioritized list of work tasks based on a priority profile of a user, the priority profile comprising weights of a plurality of priority factors;

receiving a sequence of user selections from the first prioritized list of work tasks;

performing, using the processor, a regression analysis of the sequence of user selections from the first prioritized list of work tasks;

determining, using the processor, an updated priority profile of the user based on the regression analysis; and

generating, using the processor, a second prioritized list of work tasks based on the updated priority profile of the user.

9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

performing the regression analysis of the sequence of user selections using a least squares analysis.

10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the updated priority profile comprises updated weights of the plurality of priority factors, and further comprising:

determining the updated weights of the plurality of priority factors based on the regression analysis of the sequence of user selections.

for each work task in the second prioritized list of work tasks:

determining a plurality of weighted values for the work task; and

determining a priority score of the work task based on the plurality of weighted values for the work task.

12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

for each of the plurality of weighted values for the work task, determining the weighted value based on a factor value of the work task and an updated weight from the updated priority profile.

13 . The method of claim 8 , the plurality of priority factors comprising a task urgency, a level of business impact, and a response time specified in a Service Level Agreement (SLA).

14 . The method of claim 8 , the plurality of priority factors comprising a level of financial loss, an importance level of a task requester, and time duration since receipt of a task request.

15 . A computing device comprising:

at least one hardware processor;

a machine-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by the processor to:
