Described herein is a computer implemented method comprising processing, using a computer processor, project data to generate a set of solution candidates for an activity of a work item, selecting a solution candidate from the set of solution candidates, and processing the project data to attempt to identify an assignment of the activity to the selected solution candidate. A solution candidate comprises a subset of resources from a team of resources. Generating the a solution candidate comprises selecting a number of resources for inclusion in the subset of resources, and selecting a given resource for inclusion in a solution candidate subset comprises selecting a sampling method and using the selected sampling method to select a resource from the team of resources. |

1. A computer implemented method comprising:
a computing device accessing project data from computer readable storage media, the project data comprising: work item data defining a work item, activity data defining one or more activities that form part of the work item, team data defining a team of resources, a maximum resource constraint defining a maximum number of resources able to work on the work item, and a solution candidate threshold defining a maximum number of solution candidates; for each activity of the one or more activities that form part of the work item: the computing device processing, using a computer processor, the project data to generate a set of solution candidates for the activity, the computing device selecting a solution candidate from the set of solution candidates, the computing device processing the project data to attempt to identify an assignment of the activity to the selected solution candidate, and responsive to identifying an assignment of the activity to the selected solution candidate, the computing device assigning the activity to the selected solution candidate; wherein: a solution candidate comprises a subset of resources from the team of resources, the computing device generating a set of solution candidates for an activity comprises generating a number of solution candidates which is less than or equal to the solution candidate threshold, the computing device generating a given solution candidate comprises selecting a number of resources for inclusion in the subset of resources for that solution candidate, the number of resources being less than or equal to the maximum resource constraint, and the computing device selecting a given resource for inclusion in a solution candidate subset comprises: selecting a sampling method from a plurality of sampling methods, and using the selected sampling method to select a resource from the team of resources. |
