PROVIDING BEST PRACTICE WORKFLOW TO AID USER IN COMPLETING PROJECT THAT IS CONSTANTLY UPDATED BASED ON USER FEEDBACK

摘要

A method, system and computer program product for providing a best practice workflow to aid a user in completing a project. A system receives practice instances for completing a project (e.g., obtaining a job), where a “practice instance” refers to a graph of nodes and directed edges, where each node represents a task in a process for completing the project and each directed edge illustrates an execute sequence between two tasks. The system receives rankings from users (“crowdsourcing”) for each of these practice instances and computes a single ranking for each practice instance based on these received rankings. The system may then generate a workflow for completing a project based on these practice instances with a single ranking that exceeds a threshold and are directed to completing the same project. By using user feedback to rank these practice instances, a more effective and useful workflow will be generated.

1. A method for providing a best practice workflow to aid a user in completing a project, the method comprising:
receiving practice instances for completing said project from a first plurality of users, wherein each of said practice instances comprises a graph of nodes and directed edges, wherein each of said nodes represents a task in a process for completing said project and each of said directed edges illustrates an execution sequence between two tasks; receiving a plurality of rankings for each of said practice instances from a second plurality of users; computing a single ranking for each of said practice instances based on said received rankings from said second plurality of users; and generating, by a processor, said best practice workflow for completing said project based on practice instances whose single ranking exceeds a threshold, wherein said best practice workflow comprises a plurality of tasks in said process for completing said project and edges between tasks indicating control flow between said tasks.
