Abstract

A method for providing a planning canvas may include receiving a request for a planning canvas, defining one or more group priorities for the planning canvas for one or more time periods based at least in part on one or more received user interactions, receiving a confirmation to release the planning canvas, and in response to receiving the confirmation to release the planning canvas, enabling access to the one or more group priorities for one or more associated users.

Claims (53)

1. A method comprising:

receiving a request for a planning canvas;

defining one or more group priorities for the planning canvas for one or more time periods based at least in part on one or more received user interactions;

receiving a confirmation to release the planning canvas;

in response to receiving the confirmation to release the planning canvas:

receiving one or more indications of status for a plurality of individual entities with respect to corresponding execution elements defined for each respective individual entity of the individual entities;

correlating the indications of status to at least one individual priority of one or more individual priorities for a time period;

correlating each of the one or more individual priorities for the time period to at least one group priority of the one or more group priorities for the same time period;

correlating each of the one or more group priorities for the time period to at least one group priority of the one or more group priorities for a subsequent time period;

providing a representation of connections between a group priority for a respective time period and one or more group priorities for the subsequent time period or one or more individual priorities, or a representation of connections between an individual priority and one or more execution elements;

mapping an amount of human energy associated with the one or more group priorities or the one or more individual priorities by providing one or more graphical representations of an amount of resources associated with the one or more group priorities or the one or more individual priorities based at least in part on the indications of status; and

enabling access to the one or more group priorities for one or more associated users.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

defining one or more individual priorities for the one or more group priorities for one or more time periods based at least in part on one or more received user interactions.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

defining one or more metrics for the one or more group priorities or individual priorities based at least in part on one or more received user interactions.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing a representation of connections further comprises enabling access to detailed information regarding each of the connected group priorities or individual priorities via selection of a graphical indicia corresponding to each displayed connection.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein mapping the amount of the human energy associated with the group priorities or the individual priorities further comprises providing a graphical indicia of status with respect to each of the resources based on a corresponding received indication for each of the resources.

6. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and computer program instructions stored therein, the computer program instructions comprising computer program instructions configured to:

receive a request for a planning canvas;

define one or more group priorities for the planning canvas for one or more time periods based at least in part on one or more received user interactions;

receive a confirmation to release the planning canvas;

in response to receiving the confirmation to release the planning canvas:

receive one or more indications of status for a plurality of individual entities with respect to corresponding execution elements defined for each respective individual entity of the individual entities;

correlate the indications of status to at least one individual priority of the one or more individual priorities for a time period;

correlate each of the one or more individual priorities for the time period to at least one group priority of the one or more group priorities for the same time period;

correlate each of the one or more group priorities for a time period to at least one group priority of one or more group priorities for a subsequent time period;

provide a representation of connections between a group priority for a respective time period and one or more group priorities for a subsequent time period or one or more individual priorities, or a representation of connections between an individual priority and one or more execution elements;

map an amount of human energy associated with the one or more group priorities or the one or more individual priorities by providing one or more graphical representations of an amount of resources associated with the one or more group priorities or the one or more individual priorities based at least in part on the indications of status; and

enable access to the one or more group priorities for one or more associated users.

7. The computer program product of claim 6 , further comprising the computer program instructions configured to:

define one or more individual priorities for the one or more group priorities for one or more time periods based at least in part on one or more received user interactions.

8. The computer program product or claim 6 , further comprising the computer program instructions configured to:

define one or more metrics for the one or more group priorities or individual priorities based at least in part on one or more received user interactions.

9. The computer program product of claim 6 , wherein providing a representation of connections further comprises enabling access to detailed information regarding each of the connected group priorities or individual priorities via selection of a graphical indicia corresponding to each displayed connection.

10. The computer program product of claim 6 , wherein mapping the amount of the human energy associated with the group priorities or the individual priorities further comprises providing a graphical indicia of status with respect to each of the resources based on a corresponding received indication for each of the resources.

11. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program instructions, the at least one memory and the computer program instructions being configured to, in cooperation with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:

receive a request for a planning canvas;

define one or more group priorities for the planning canvas for one or more time periods based at least in part on one or more received user interactions;

receive a confirmation to release the planning canvas;

in response to receiving the confirmation to release the planning canvas:

receive one or more indications of status for a plurality of individual entities with respect to corresponding execution elements defined for each respective individual entity of the individual entities;

correlate the indications of status to at least one individual priority of the one or more individual priorities for a time period;

correlate each of the one or more individual priorities for the time period to at least one group priority of the one or more group priorities for the same time period;

correlate each of the one or more group priorities for a time period to at least one group priority of one or more group priorities for a subsequent time period;

provide a representation of connections between a group priority for a respective time period and one or more group priorities for a subsequent time period or one or more individual priorities, or a representation of connections between an individual priority and one or more execution elements;

map an amount of human energy associated with the one or more group priorities or the one or more individual priorities by providing one or more graphical representations of an amount of resources associated with the one or more group priorities or the one or more individual priorities based at least in part on the indications of status; and

enable access to the one or more group priorities for one or more associated users.
