Abstract

A system and method for dynamically assigning action items using Artificial Intelligence based on criterion. The criterion including resource availability, resource location, and/or resource skill(s). The system and method comprising: monitoring communications over one or more communication channels; analyzing the monitored communications to generate one or more user stories; processing the one or more generated user stories to identify one or more action items; scoring one or more resources based on assignment factors to determine a resource with a highest score; and assigning the one or more action items to the resource with the highest score. The system and method further comprising: tracking action items and automatically updating action item status. The system and method also include automatically re-assigning action items as needed.

Claims (52)

1 . A method for dynamically assigning action items using Artificial Intelligence, the method comprising:

monitoring communications over one or more communication channels;

analyzing the monitored communications to generate one or more user stories;

processing the one or more generated user stories to identify one or more action items;

scoring one or more resources based on assignment factors to determine a resource with a highest score; and

assigning the one or more action items to the resource with the highest score.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

monitoring further communications over the one or more communication channels;

tracking the one or more action items; and

updating a status associated with each action item.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

re-scoring the one or more resources based on the assignment factors to determine if scores associated with the one or more resources has changed; and

in response to the scores associated with the one or more resources changing, re-assigning the one or more action items.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the assignment criterion includes at least one of: resource location, resource availability, one or more required skills, and/or stakeholder preference.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more communication channels include: voice calls, video calls, email, instant messaging, chat, text messaging, and/or meeting minutes.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein analyzing the monitored communications to generate the one or more user stories comprises detecting one or more keywords in the monitored communications.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein analyzing the monitored communications to generate the one or more user stories comprises grouping related action items.

8 . A system comprising:

a microprocessor; and

a computer readable medium, coupled with the microprocessor and comprising microprocessor readable and executable instructions that cause the microprocessor to:

monitor communications over one or more communication channels;

analyze the monitored communications to generate one or more user stories;

process the one or more generated user stories to identify one or more action items;

score one or more resources based on assignment factors to determine a resource with a highest score; and

assign the one or more action items to the resource with the highest score.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the executable instructions further cause the microprocessor to:

monitor further communications over the one or more communication channels;

track the one or more action items; and

update a status associated with each action item.

10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the executable instructions further cause the microprocessor to:

re-score the one or more resources based on the assignment factors to determine if scores associated with the one or more resources has changed; and

in response to the scores associated with the one or more resources changing, re-assign the one or more action items.

11 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the assignment criterion includes at least one of: resource location, resource availability, one or more required skills, and/or stakeholder preference.

12 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more communication channels include: voice calls, video calls, email, instant messaging, chat, text messaging, and/or meeting minutes.

13 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the executable instructions cause the microprocessor to detect one or more keywords in the monitored communications.

14 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the executable instructions further cause the microprocessor to group related action items.

15 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform a method comprising:

monitoring communications over one or more communication channels;

analyzing the monitored communications to generate one or more user stories;

processing the one or more generated user stories to identify one or more action items;

scoring one or more resources based on assignment factors to determine a resource with a highest score; and

assigning the one or more action items to the resource with the highest score.

16 . The computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions when executed by a processor, perform the method further comprising:

monitoring further communications over the one or more communication channels;

tracking the one or more action items; and

updating a status associated with each action item.

17 . The computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions when executed by a processor, perform the method further comprising:

re-scoring the one or more resources based on the assignment factors to determine if scores associated with the one or more resources has changed; and

in response to the scores associated with the one or more resources changing, re-assigning the one or more action items.

18 . The computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the assignment criterion includes at least one of: resource location, resource availability, one or more required skills, and/or stakeholder preference.

19 . The computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the one or more communication channels include: voice calls, video calls, email, instant messaging, chat, text messaging, and/or meeting minutes.

20 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein analyzing the monitored communications to generate the one or more user stories further comprises detecting one or more keywords in the monitored communications.
